From Sentences to Equations

To write an equation based on a given sentence, use a variable to represent the unknown quantity. Write verbal expressions as algebraic expressions.
Recognize that the following verbal expressions mean = : is, is the same as, is identical to.
Solve word problems using these steps: investigate the problem, plan a solution, solve the problem, and check the solution.
Be able to translate verbal statements into mathematical formulas.
