Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
1) $p^2 + m$; where $m = 2, p = 1$
* Substitute the values: $(1)^2 + 2$
* Square the 1: $1 \times 1 = 1$
* Add 2: $1 + 2 = 3$
*
Answer: 3
2) $x - x^2 + 1 + y$; where $x = 1, y = -1$
* Substitute the values: $1 - (1)^2 + 1 + (-1)$
* Square the 1: $1 - 1 + 1 - 1$
* Calculate from left to right:
* $1 - 1 = 0$
* $0 + 1 = 1$
* $1 - 1 = 0$
*
Answer: 0
3) $p(r + q)$; where $p = 3, q = 6, r = 4$
* Substitute the values: $3(4 + 6)$
* Solve inside the parentheses first: $4 + 6 = 10$
* Multiply by 3: $3 \times 10 = 30$
*
Answer: 30
4) $y - (x - x)$; where $x = 6, y = 2$
* Substitute the values: $2 - (6 - 6)$
* Solve inside the parentheses first: $6 - 6 = 0$
* Subtract from y: $2 - 0 = 2$
*
Answer: 2
5) $p(p + m)$; where $m = 1, p = 6$
* Substitute the values: $6(6 + 1)$
* Solve inside the parentheses first: $6 + 1 = 7$
* Multiply: $6 \times 7 = 42$
*
Answer: 42
6) $j^2 h$; where $h = 2, j = 4$
* Substitute the values: $4^2 \times 2$
* Square the 4 first: $4 \times 4 = 16$
* Multiply by 2: $16 \times 2 = 32$
*
Answer: 32
7) $xy \div 6$; where $x = 5, y = 6$
* Substitute the values: $5 \times 6 \div 6$
* Multiply first: $5 \times 6 = 30$
* Divide by 6: $30 \div 6 = 5$
*
Answer: 5
8) $2p - q$; where $p = 4, q = -2$
* Substitute the values: $2(4) - (-2)$
* Multiply: $8 - (-2)$
* Subtracting a negative is the same as adding: $8 + 2 = 10$
*
Answer: 10
9) $y^2 - x$; where $x = 1, y = 5$
* Substitute the values: $5^2 - 1$
* Square the 5: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Subtract 1: $25 - 1 = 24$
*
Answer: 24
10) $6 - (p - m)$; where $m = 1, p = -5$
* Substitute the values: $6 - ((-5) - 1)$
* Solve inside the parentheses: $-5 - 1 = -6$
* Now the equation is: $6 - (-6)$
* Subtracting a negative becomes addition: $6 + 6 = 12$
*
Answer: 12
11) $(x - y) \div 2$; where $x = 3, y = 1$
* Substitute the values: $(3 - 1) \div 2$
* Solve inside the parentheses: $3 - 1 = 2$
* Divide by 2: $2 \div 2 = 1$
*
Answer: 1
12) $(x + y)^2$; where $x = 1, y = 1$
* Substitute the values: $(1 + 1)^2$
* Solve inside the parentheses: $1 + 1 = 2$
* Square the result: $2^2 = 4$
*
