This week in math we learned how to solve word problems. First, you find the variables which represent unknown values. Second, you form a system of equations that involve the variables. Third, you solve the system. Finally, you can answer the problem and verify the solution. When there are word problems that introduce the distance, speed, or time of something, you can use the formula speed multiplied by time equals distance. (TxS=D)
