Why This Chapter Matters

JCERT · Class 7 · Chapter 11 · Algebraic Expressions. Topic notes aligned to the official chapter; these are not solutions to every textbook exercise.

Before You Begin (Prerequisites)

Revise relevant arithmetic and ideas from the previous grade.

What You Will Learn (Core Objectives)

Identify variables, constants, terms and coefficients. Like terms have the same variables with the same powers and can be combined. Subtracting a bracket changes every sign inside it.

Concept and method

Identify variables, constants, terms and coefficients. Like terms have the same variables with the same powers and can be combined. Subtracting a bracket changes every sign inside it.

Check and common pitfall

Substituting x = 2 gives 11 in both the original and simplified expressions.

Key Formulas, Identities & Theorems

Key relationships

3x + 2x = 5x; (a + b) − (c − d) = a + b − c + d

Observe the stated conditions and units.

Conceptual Solved Examples & Case Studies

Example 1

Simplify (3x + 2) − (x − 5).

Step-by-Step Solution:

3x + 2 − x + 5 = 2x + 7

Substituting x = 2 gives 11 in both the original and simplified expressions.
