Translating Word Problems into Equations

Avoid the nervousness! Follow these steps: Read the problem carefully and figure out what it is asking you to find. Assign a variable to the quantity you are trying to find. Write down what the variable represents. Re-read the problem and write an equation for the quantities given in the problem. Solve the equation. Answer the question in the problem. Check your solution.

For example: On an algebra test, the highest grade was 42 points higher than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 138. Find the lowest grade.

Follow the steps... What are we trying to find? Assign a variable.

Follow the steps... Write down what the variable represents. Write an equation.

Follow the steps... Solve the equation. Answer the question in the problem.
