Simplifying Algebraic Expressions


Write an expression for each situation.  Simplify the expression.  





1.  John has y stickers.  He keeps 20 stickers for himself and gives the remainder to his two sisters equally.  How many stickers does each sister get?



2.  Kenny has m guppies and 10 angelfish.  He buys another 20 guppies and 30 angelfish.  How many fish does Kenny have now?



3.   8 + 12s - 7 - 9s + 4
