Question
If m = 4, then what is the value of m + 20 ?
- 24
- 22
- 23
- 0
Hint:
This is an algebraic expression. An algebraic expression consists of two components: a variable and a constant. A variable is a quantity that doesn’t have any fixed value. It takes value according to the conditions. It is denoted by the alphabet. A constant is a quantity with a fixed value. In this question, value is assigned to the variable. We have to perform the required operations and find the final value.
The correct answer is: 24
The given expression is m+20
There is one variable and one constant in the above expression. The variables is : ’m’. Value assigned to the variable is are m = 4. We have to substitute this value and find the final value of the expression.
There are two terms in the above expression. The first term is ‘m’.
Second term is constant.
There is '+' sign between the terms. So we have to add 4 to the variable.
We have to first substitute the value and perform the required operations.
To substitute the value, we have to replace m by 4. After substituting the value, we will get the following equation:
m + 20 = (4) + 20
m + 20 = 24
Therefore, the value of equation is 24
So option which is ‘24’ is the right option
We have to be careful about the operations because of the variables. We have to follow the proper procedure for performing the operations. The variables take different values under different conditions. So we have to be careful while substituting the values. The main part of this type of question is just replacing the variables by their values and performing the operation.
