How Do You Solve a Word Problem with an Equation Using Division?

Three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures are the focus of this video. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

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.

Word problems are a problem no more with this helpful and informative video. Sal demonstrates different ways to solve typical algebraic word problems (and one geometry problem), especially how to translate the word problem into an...

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...

Sal starts to solve a trigonometric word problem of a wayward ship captain who veers off course and once aware of his predicament, needs to know how far he is from his destination. Instead of using the Law of Cosines in his solution, Sal...

For most people, solving word problems takes a lot of work. But Sal makes it look simple! Follow along as he unpacks this complicated word problem. He even demonstrates how to answer. Excellent!

A few word problems involving age are presented. Starting with a simple problem and progressing to more complicated word problems, Sal uses a chart to organize the information given in the more complicated problem to solve for the variable.

This presentation demonstrates how to solve an age word problem. It is worth the time it takes to view it.

If you are looking for an end-of-the-year math assessment, then this lesson could be for you! Your mathematicians are assessed on their ability to solve difficult, multi-step word problems that take quite a bit of thought and...

Your algebra learners will pick up some solid algebra problem solving skills and a plan of approach for some typical types of word problems in this scripted activity that shows how to set up and organize each type of problem, create...
