Another effective strategy for helping students improve their mathematics performance is related to solving word problems. More specifically, it involves teaching students how to identify word problem types based on a given problem’s underlying structure, or schema. Before learning about this strategy, however, it is helpful to understand why many students struggle with word problems in the first place.
Difficulty with Word Problems
Most students, especially those with mathematics difficulties and disabilities, have trouble solving word problems. This is in large part because word problems require students to:
Answer: m=-1, b=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=5
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let us solve for <em>x</em> using the 
equation by <u>isolating terms containing the variable</u>:
Great! <em>x</em> is 5... let's find <em>y</em>.
Step 2:
Since we know the value of <em>x</em>, we can use what we know to find <em>y</em> using the <u>other equation</u>:
<em>Given that x=5, we can </em><u><em>replace</em></u><em> x with 5</em>.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1000 gallons - 940 = 60 then divide by the time which gets us 60/10=6
Now we can use this answer to help find out the amount remaining in the tank.
5 minutes = 5x6=30; 1000-30= 970 gallons
20 minutes= 20x6=120; 1000-120= 880 gallons
30 minutes=30x6=180; 1000-180= 820 gallons
27 minutes=27x6=162; 1000-162= 838 gallons
X minutes = 1000-6x
Rate of flow is 6 gallons per minute.
Hope this helps!
17. 2x<16 x=7 or lower
All I can help you with is #17,
sorry that I can't answer the other 3.
I hope this helped! :-)
