Translating algebraic phrases can be kind of tricky or confusing sometimes. For instance, how do you translate the phrase "three times a number less than five"? Is it 5 - 3n? Or is it 3(5 - n)?, or is it another expression other than these two? The reason why I get confused is because the word "times" usually refers to both variables like n, and parenthesises like ( ). If I can get any helpful advice, I would appreciate. Your videos are helpful by the way.

@FortBendTutoring

It should be 5 - 3n. The latter is 3 times the difference of 5 and n.

+Geeta Mohammed i know i'm super late but i just had to solve this i love word problems, it's real easy you just have to read between the lines. basically you are finding a sum of two numbers that when you double and add it will be 18 and when you subtract it will be 14. with enough trial and error you may land on the numbers but that may take a while, that's why we have algebra. when you think of doubling the number what do you suppose you do? what is 5 doubled or simply put what is 2 of 5? 5 and 5 is 10. so we can say that 5 doubled is 10. well in arithmetic we say 5 multiplied by 2 which just means 5 two times. so in this case the first number doubled is basically 2 multiplied by an unknown number or 2n. then it asks you to add a second unknown number to that equation we just formed. so 2n + (unknown number), let's call it y. so the equation now is 2n + y. but it doesn't stop there. its says that the final number is 18 and "is eighteen" basically means "equal to" , so 2n + y = 18; and the second equation shouldn't be so far off. its just the inverse of the first equation. 2n - y = 14; you can now work out this equation by using any method in the linear system but with first glance elimination looks easy because the second equation is the inverse of the first equation so when you add the two equations you are left with 4n = 32; when you add a negative to a positive value it becomes zero so its out of the equation. now its becomes easy because all you have to do is isolate n and divide both sides by 4 to get your answer which is 8 so plug that back in to any equation to find y. y = 2 and done is done algebra is awesome. peace!

@FortBendTutoring

This is a vague question. I would really need to see the original problem. As it stands there are infinite solutions. For instance, the solution could be 130 and 4 or 138 and -4. Then in the other problem, 135 and 3 or 141 and -3. Unless this problem is to determine your reading comprehension and understanding of integers, there is certainly something missing from the directions/instructions for this problem. One could derive an algorithm that could generate the solutions of this problem, but it certainly doesn't have a standardized formula.

Correct me if i'm wrong. But your solution to the problem in 13:35 is incorrect. The formula should be: 3x + 4x = 28 ; 7x = 28; x = 4 Therefore, there are 12 girls and 16 boys when you plug in x = 4. This can be proven by getting the ratio of 12/16 which is 3:4, the original ratio. 21/7 can't be the answer because it is equivalent to 3.
