Answer

The meaning of evaluating an algebraic expression means finding the value of the expression for a provided value of the variable. It means an expression value at a particular variable value.

Work Step by Step

Let’s assume an expression: The distance between a tree and a building is 12x,where,distance is represented by x and consider x as 10cm. Put the variable value in to the expression. Therefore, distance between a tree and a building is: \[\begin{align} & 12x=12\cdot 10 \\ & =120 \end{align}\] This means the distance between a tree and a building is 120cm.
