Answer:
if you have a specific math problem i can help you with it!
Step-by-step explanation:
you essentially translate the words into math. for example if the problem says something like "he has 5 more pieces of candy than her" you would set a variable, in this case "x," and set it up like this.
since "her" is the original amount, we'd do it like this:
her = x
he = x+5
then, we'd figure out what these values have to equal to. let's say there are 9 total pieces of candy. so this is how we'd do it:
(x)+(x+5)=9
now we solve:
2x+5=9
2x=9-5
2x=4
x=2
hope this somewhat helped! if you have more questions, feel free to ask me!
