In word problems, the construction of mathematical models that represent real-world scenarios is a critical skill. Linear equations can be used to model many types of real life situation word problems, such as cost, profit, speed, distance and time problems.
To solve the word problems, you need to interpret the situation described in the problem into an equation, then solve the problem by solving the equation.
Plan for Solving a Word Problem :
(i) Find out what numbers are asked for from the given information.
(ii) Choose a variable(s) to represent the number(s) described in the problem. Sketch or a chart may be helpful.
(iii) Write an equation or a system of equations that represents relationships among the numbers in the problem.
(iv) Solve the equation or system of equations and find the required numbers.
(v) Answer the original question. Check that your answer is reasonable.
Depending upon the information given, we will be using different methods to solve word problems.
