Solving Word ProblemsA series of free Intermediate Algebra Video Lessons from Brightstorm online Algebra series.
Solving Linear Equations Equations are fundamental to Algebra, and solving linear equations is necessary for students in order to learn how to solve two-step equations, and other multi-step equations. Solving linear equations means finding the value for the variable that makes the statement true using additive and multiplicative inverses.
Solving for a Parameter in a Linear Equation When solving for a parameter in a linear equation we need to remember that a parameter is simply a variable. When solving for a variable, we can isolate and solve for it by using additive or multiplicative inverses.
Geometry Word Problems We can use linear equations to solve a number of real-life problems, such as geometry word problems. When solving word problems using linear equations, we first need to pull out the relevant information and put it into equation form. Also, with geometry word problems, we need to know basic geometry concepts such as triangle properties and rectangle properties.
Applied Linear Equations: Mixture Problems Some word problems using systems of equations involve mixing two quantities with different prices. To solve mixture problems, knowledge of solving systems of equations. is necessary. Most often, these problems will have two variables, but more advanced problems have systems of equations with three variables. Other types of word problems using systems of equations include rate word problems and work word problems.
