Taming Tricky Questions

When faced with a word problem, underline key information and translate words into equations. Assign variables to unknowns and organize information in tables or matrices. Don't rush—draw pictures, write out each step, and check that your solution makes sense in the real world!

Examples

  • Translating a business problem about supply and demand into a system of equations.

  • Drawing a diagram to help set up equations for a physics scenario.
