For a complete lesson on algebra word problems, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn to solve "number" word problems, such as the following. One number is four times as large as another. The sum of the numbers is 45. Find the numbers. Since the first sentence states that one number is 4 times as large as another, the numbers can be represented as x and 4x. Since the second sentence states that the sum of the numbers is 45, the equation can be set up as x + 4x = 45.

  • I have some coins in my coin jar. I counted them and I have a total of 37 coins. I only have dimes and quarters. The total value of the coins is $7.00. How many of each coin do I have?

    Someone help me answer this, you have to solve it with an equation!

  • @insanity745 "4x9" because "x" = 9 and the equation was "4x=4x9=36"

  • Would it not be 936? Or is it just 9, 36?

  • @insanity745 4x9 is 36 + another 9 = 45

  • where did the 36 come from?
