Translating Algebraic Expressions

This video tutorial focuses on preparing for Algebra SOL exams by teaching how to translate English phrases into algebraic expressions. It provides examples of common phrases and their algebraic equivalents, demonstrates using Desmos to match tables with functions, and guides identifying matching representations. The video concludes with practice problems for further learning.
