The usual order of operations (PEMDAS) applies when evaluating expressions. So when an algebraic expression contains parentheses , we calculate what's inside the parentheses first.
For example, we evaluate at , as follows:
Evaluate for
We replace with in the expression and evaluate the parentheses first:

If an expression contains more than one variable, we evaluate it using the same procedure, replacing each variable with the appropriate value.
For example, to find the value of when and we replace with and with
Find the value of when and
Replacing with and with in the expression, we get
If $t=-2$ and $l=3$, then $2t - l.$
