Substitute the values of the variables into the expression and calculate the value of the expression
Detailed explanation
a) Substituting x = 5.8 into the expression, we get:
4x + 3 = 4. 5.8 + 3 = 26.2
b) Substituting y = 2 into the expression, we get:
y2 – 2y +1 = 22 – 2.2 + 1 = 1
c) Substituting m = 5.4 and n = 3.2 into the expression, we get:
(2m+n).(mn) = (2.5,4 + 3.2) . (5.4 – 3.2) = 30.8

Solve problem 7.4 page 24 Math 7 textbook Connecting knowledge volume 2 – KNTT
A farmer uses two pumps to water his garden. The first pump can pump 5 m per hour3 water. The second pump pumps 3.5 m . per hour3 water.
a) Write an algebraic expression expressing the amount of water pumped by the two machines, if the first pump runs for x hours and the second pump runs for y hours.
b) Using the result of question a, calculate the amount of water pumped by both machines when x = 2 (hours), y = 3 (hours).
Detailed instructions for solving Problem 7.4
Solution method
a) Write the expression: Amount of pumpable water = amount of tap water 1 pump + amount of tap water 2 pumps
b) Replace the values of x = 2 and y = 3 into the expression in sentence a
Detailed explanation
a) The algebraic expression expressing the pumpable water volume of the two machines is:
N = 5.x + 3.5.y
b) Substituting x = 2 and y = 3 into the expression, we get:
N = 5.2 + 3.5 . 3 = 20.5 (m3 )
