Solving Algebraic Expressions and Equations

The first type of word problem you will learn is the basic number word problem. These problems help you practice translating the English problem into algebraic equations. Once you have mastered this skill, you will be ready to move on to more interesting problems. Watch the video below, paying close attention to how English is translated into each algebraic equation. Then, pause the video and try to solve the equation on your own. Once you have your answer, continue watching the video to see how you did.
