Study Notes

Problem Solving Steps

Identify practical problem-solving steps: Assign a variable, write a condition, solve the equation.
Steps include: Assigning an identifying variable to the quantity, writing a sentence about conditions, and checking the solution.

Coin Problems

Betty has 10 more dimes than quarters; her total is $3.45, resulting in 7 quarters and 17 dimes.
A man has 2 more nickels than dimes and a total of $1.15; this leads to the equation 5(x + 2) + 10x = 115 for the calculation.

Algebraic Representation

For one number being 10 times another with a difference of 81, if x is the smaller number, the larger number is represented as 10X.
In the case of supplementary angles, if one angle is 5 times the other, the equation 6X = 180 can be used to find the angles.

Age Problems

Two years ago, a father was four times his son’s age; in three years, he will be three times the son’s age. If x is the son's age two years back, the father's age three years from now is represented as x + 3.
Joe is 10 years older than James; in 8 years, twice Joe's age equals three times James's age, identifying ages as James = 12 years and Joe = 22 years.

Consecutive Numbers and Angles

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 117, yielding the numbers 38, 39, and 40.
For complementary angles where one is 4 degrees more than the other, the unusable equation to solve the problem is 2x - 4 = 90.

Rectangles and Isosceles Triangles

The length of a rectangle, three times its width, has a total perimeter of 22, with width and length calculated as Width = 2.75 and Length = 8.25.
In an isosceles triangle problem, where the base is 4 inches shorter than sides, the equation to find the sides is 3x - 4 = 32.

Additional Numeric Relationships

One number is 3 more than 2 times another, their sum being 27, results in the larger number being expressed as 2x + 3.
When the total of two consecutive odd integers equals 92, it shows that if x is the smaller integer, the larger one is x + 2.

General Insight

Formulating equations from verbal problem statements is essential for successfully solving mathematical problems in various contexts.
