Solving Word Problems with Equations

The video tutorial by Teacher Harrett covers solving word problems using linear equations in one variable. It begins with an introduction to the topic and outlines the learning objectives. The video then details the steps for solving word problems, followed by several example problems that demonstrate these steps in action. The examples include problems involving addition, multiplication, division, and geometry. Vocabulary related to the problems is also introduced. The tutorial concludes with a summary and closing remarks.

In the problem where the sum of a number and 13 is 32, what is the number?

• 13

• 45

• 32

• 19

What property of equality is used to solve the equation x + 13 = 32?

• Division property

• Addition property

• Multiplication property

• Subtraction property

What is the result when you subtract 13 from both sides of the equation x + 13 = 32?

• x = 32

• x = 19

• x = 13

• x = 45

In the problem where a number multiplied by 5 and then divided by 6 results in 15, what is the number?

• 5

• 15

• 18

• 6
