WORD PROBLEMS Algebra Step 5. Check the answer. The area of the reduced area pad is 264 square feet less than the area of the original pad. 600 264 (20 2x)(30 2x) 336 [20 2(3)][30 2(3)] 336 (20 6)(30 6) 336 (14)(24) 336 336 Thus, the answer checks. Summary The important information from this chapter is summarized below. Algebraic Word Problems Summary Algebraic word problems can easily be solved by following these five basic steps: Step 1. Let some letter, such as x, represent one of the unknowns. Step 2. Express the other unknowns in terms of x using the information given in the problem. Step 3. Write an equation that represents in symbols exactly what the problem states in words. Step 4. Solve the equation. Step 5. Check the answer to see that it satisfies the conditions stated in the problem. MA-02 Page 62 Rev. 0
