F.O.A Write the following equations in words: n = n – 4 = – 3(4 + m) = 12
Translating Real-World Problems into Equations
STEP #1 READ THE PROBLEM.
READ THE PROBLEM AGAIN. This step is the MOST important step, but it is also the step that most people don’t do properly. Sometimes a single word can completely change how the problem is worked. STEP #2
Represent one of the unknown quantities with a variable and try to relate all the other unknown quantities (if there are any of course) to this variable. STEP #3
If applicable, sketch a figure illustrating the situation. This may seem like a silly step, but it can be incredibly helpful with the next step on occasion. STEP #4
Form an equation that will relate known quantities to the unknown quantities. STEP #5
