I usually just read the word equation, pick out the important parts, and swap the words for numbers or symbols. For example, if it says “speed equals distance divided by time,” I write it as **Speed = Distance ÷ Time**. Then I plug in the numbers, like if a car goes 120 km in 2 hours, I can quickly work out the speed is 60 km/h. It’s really just turning words into math you can solve.
There was no word problem, so it would be a null equation.

To solve a linear equation word problem, first, read the problem carefully to identify the variables and the relationships between them. Next, translate the words into a mathematical equation by determining how the quantities relate to each other. Then, solve the equation using algebraic techniques, such as isolating the variable. Finally, interpret your solution in the context of the original problem to ensure it makes sense.
Variables in a math problem vary or change. If in an equation, different variables change values depending on constants, evanuations, etc. For example: in y = x + 2, y can be any number as long as x is that number plus two. The varibles in this equation change value but are defined by the equation.

Press the up arrow key until you get to the point where you can edit the equation.

A constant is a value that stays the same and does not change throughout a problem or equation.
You will need to use your brain to figure that out. Different word problems need different equations.
Answer A Formula is when you have to write an equation that tells you how to answer that problem/question but the opposite would be the actual answer.
6 friends each want an equal serving of 36 cups of pudding. How many cups does each person get?1. What is the problem asking you to find out? (how many cups each person gets)2. Take the numbers you have and think: What would the problem be without the words? (36...divided by...6...EQUALS)3. There you have it-- a word problem turned into an equation!
Without an equality sign the given expression can't be considered to be an equation
