In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

In this part 2 video, Sal finishes the trigonometric word problem of the wayward ship captain. He wisely continues the algebra work on the problem before finally turning to his calculator for the very last calculation.

Word problems are full of information waiting to be deciphered. This animated video explains how to look for the important parts and how to translate those word cues into the correct signs. Go through a problem from start to finish and...

Mix it up in math class! The video provides an equation hint to be able to setup mixture problems. Two problems are provided as examples on how to use the equation in order to solve mixture type word problems. 

Word problems can be tricky. Lucky for you there are key words that can help you identify the operation needed to successfully complete any word problem. This tutorial helps you pick out key words and what those words indicate in terms...

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 231. What is the largest integer? See how to unpack this word problem, set up an equation, and solve for the variable.

In this part two video, Sal finishes the trigonometric word problem of the wayward ship captain. He wisely continues the algebra work on the problem before finally turning to his calculator for the very last calculation.

Use this word problem to practice turning words into math. You'll follow the step-by-step process to determine what is being asked and what you'll need to do to solve the problem. A great tutorial for learners needing a little extra help...

Translate a word problem into a rational equation. This word problem might cause some to pause and ponder, and some to just give up and skip the problem altogether. It does involve some fractions, so watch this video and get a better...

An inequality in a word problem? And there's a fraction too?! As if word problems weren't hard enough! You can do this, just follow along as the instructor explains each step in solving this word problem.

There are rabbits, rabbits, rabbits everywhere. Not this group of rabbits. Use a table to find some x and y values to create a graph to solve this word problem. It's a rather peculiar word problem in that it is trying to find when a...

Word problems. Inequalities. Money. What? Does Marissa have enough money left in her bank account to go to the movies? One variable, two given amounts. Set up this inequality to determine how much Marissa needs to have in her bank...

This word problem has only one set of given numbers. How does one make a graph with only one set of numbers? Make a table to get the other set of values. Now these values make ordered pairs and can be plotted on a graph.

Many times, learners get frustrated because they feel like they have the tools to solve an algebra problem, but not the ability to turn the English into math. This presentation focuses solely on that skill, starting with basic algebraic...

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.

The next time you are at an amusement park you may want to consider all the interesting math problems you could do! Using trigonometric ratios, some logic and algebra, Sal solves a problem in this video of finding a person's height off...

Solve this real world word problem in just one written step. The original inequality is a division problem, so to solve it, use the multiplication property of inequality. Was the problem solved by multiplying a negative number? Yes! So...

There is only one variable in this word problem. Yeah! So unpack the words and write them as a mathematical expression. Then make sure to use the order of operations to solve and arrive at the solution.

After reading this inequality word problem, young learners might just skip over it and not even make the attempt to solve it. It seems rather complicated. So watch this video as the teacher explains all that needs to be done to solve...
