The document provides examples and explanations for translating word problems and phrases into algebraic expressions. It gives examples such as "18 less than a number" being translated to "x - 18" and "the product of a number and 5" being "5n". It also provides word problems like writing an expression for the total cost of admission plus rides at a county fair. The document teaches learners how to identify keywords that indicate mathematical operations when translating word phrases into algebraic notation.

- 3. Problem of the Day A farmer sent his two children out to count the number of ducks and cows in the field. Jean counted 50 heads. Charles counted 154 legs. How many of each kind were counted? 23 ducks and 27 cows
- 4. Learn to translate words into numbers, variables, and operations.
- 5. Although they are closely related, a Great Dane weighs about 40 times as much as a Chihuahua. An expression for the weight of the Great Dane could be 40 c , where c is the weight of the Chihuahua. When solving real-world problems, you will need to translate words, or verbal expressions, into algebraic expressions.
