Example Question #1039 : Algebra 1
Suzie is selling her designer clothes and shoes in order to raise money for a class trip she wants to go on. She decided that all designer jeans would be sold for 
In order to solve the problem, you need to create an algebraic equation. Use the variable x for the number of jeans Suzie will sell and y for the number of shoes.
In algebra, words in a word problem often translate into mathematical terms. For instance the word is often means equals, or the word each usually indicates that you will need to multiply. As we read through the problem you will see that jeans cost 
You then need to substitute the amount of each item that she sold for the variable and solve the equation.
