=3x
2
 - 2x + 3x + 7 
= (3x

FAQs on Algebraic Expressions (Exercise 7.2) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7

1. What are algebraic expressions?
Ans. Algebraic expressions are mathematical expressions that contain variables, constants, and mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They represent relationships between quantities and can be used to solve various mathematical problems.
2. How do you simplify algebraic expressions?
Ans. To simplify an algebraic expression, you need to combine like terms and perform the indicated operations. This involves adding or subtracting terms with the same variable and exponent, and multiplying or dividing terms with the same variable. By simplifying the expression, you can make it easier to work with and solve equations or problems.
3. What is the difference between an equation and an algebraic expression?
Ans. An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that contains variables, constants, and mathematical operations, but it does not have an equal sign. On the other hand, an equation is a statement that shows the equality of two expressions. Equations are solved to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true, while expressions are simplified or evaluated.
4. How can algebraic expressions be used in real-life situations?
Ans. Algebraic expressions can be used to represent and solve various real-life situations. For example, they can be used to calculate the cost of items with discounts, determine the area or volume of objects, solve problems related to time and distance, or analyze patterns and relationships in data. By using algebraic expressions, we can express and solve problems mathematically.
5. What are some common mistakes to avoid when simplifying algebraic expressions?
Ans. When simplifying algebraic expressions, it is important to avoid common mistakes such as: - Forgetting to apply the distributive property correctly. - Combining terms with different variables or exponents. - Making errors in performing the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. - Forgetting to simplify terms with coefficients or constants. - Not following the correct order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) while simplifying the expression.
