The document provides examples of mathematical expressions and translations using variables and symbols. [1] It gives examples of writing expressions using variables to represent quantities like a person's age in years, parts of a number, interest earned from investment, distance traveled at a speed, and the perimeter of a rectangle. [2] It also gives examples of translating sentences to mathematical symbols, such as representing concepts like a number being rational, a number being a multiple of another, a value belonging to two sets, the range of values for a variable, comparing the square of a value to another number, and the square of a number being non-negative.
