Answer:

Explanation:

We’ll eventually apply our skills in algebra to solving equations in complex word problems. Usually start by translating a word phrase to an algebraic equation. Remember, an equation has an equal sign between two algebraic expressions. So if we have a sentence that tells us that two phrases are equal, we can translate it into an equation.
