Soh the equation. ‘Answer the question in words Example: Number Problem The sum oft urbers is 24. When the larger numbers subtracted fiom A times the smaller ‘umber, the result is 16. Find the two numbers Solution First, me must define our unknowm, Since we are trying to fin swo numbers, let us make the smaller number From the question, we also know thatthe sum ofthe tro numbers 24 24 2, the larger number mu naller number, the result Translating "When the larger umber subtracted from 4 times i516" mom 4.x amaller number — larger number = 16 tule the unknown values that we just defined to form an algebra -quation 4x2—(4—2)=16 9 our defton of z, we know that he sm must be 24 — 8 = 16, ‘Answering the orginal question in words: The two numbers are ® and 16 Example: Measurement Problem The length ofa rectangular house block is 1S metres greater than twice ts street width. & fence ‘around the perimeter ofthe block, except fort ie facing the st ot 9 80 metres ong. Find theimensions ofthe block Solution Letus make the width w metres. Since the length ofthe blocks 15 the width the length can be witten as 2uv + 15 metres, Now that wehave defined ur unknowns, me can draw a clagram to ilutrate the question: fh ae HOUSE BLOCK STREET From the question, we know that the com olde ie 80 mete. 1 can be translated mathematically as: 2 length + width = 80 ettuting inthe values we have detinad, we get an algebraic equation: 2x (2w +15) +w=80 ‘this pin, we can solve fer w+ 30-4 w = 80 5w = 50 w=10 35 1 the with of the blocks 10 metes.
