Strategy for Solving Word Problems
  • Step 1 Read Carefully, Restate in your own words
    what is given and what you are trying to find.
    Let a variable represent ONE of the UNKNOWN
    quantities.
  • Step 2 If necessary write expressions for any
    other unknown quantities in the problem using
    your variable. Step 3 Write an equation (or
    inequality) to describe the verbal conditions of
    the problem. Use your variable quantities as
    needed
  • Step 4 Solve the equation (inequality) and
    answer the question in a sentence!
  • Step 5 Check the solution in the original wording
    of the problem-not in your equation.
