Have Algebra Word Problems
Therefore, the possible solutions are x = –5 and x = 2. Unfortunately, there is a risk of finding an incorrect solution when solving rational equations in this manner. Consequently, the two possible solutions must be verified. To do this, substitute them into the given equations and make sure that the result is a true statement. W ORD PROBLEMS require practice in translating verbal language into algebraic language. See Lesson 1, Problem 8.Yet, word problems fall into distinct types. Below are some examples. All problems like the following lead eventually to an equation in that simple form.

- students who want to start right away
- students who are self-directed and can set and stick to a plan for completing the course
- students who may want to either go faster or slower than the instructor-paced version
Instructor-led
Instructor-led courses have a structure with weekly assignment due dates, as well as an instructor guiding a student through the curriculum and content. Instructor-led courses are great for:
Algebra Iimath Problem Solving Solver
- Students who prefer a structured timeline with established due dates for assignments
- Students who enjoy interaction with other students, who will be completing assignments at the same time
- Students who are taking their first course online, and may benefit from greater guidance
This course satisfies 3 credit hours toward the Mathematical Studies (MA) General Studies requirement at Arizona State University. It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring your credit.
