In the applet below, a verbal expression is given. [br][br][b]Your job is to take that verbal expression and write it as an algebraic expression. [br]When translating, use "[i]x[/i]" as your variable. [br]That is, whenever the applet says "a number", take that to mean "[i]x[/i]". [/b][br][color=#ff00ff][b]If you translate an expression correctly, you'll see a big "CORRECT !!!" sign appear. [/b][/color] [br][br]There are 15 different types of problems this applet will generate for you if you work with it long enough. [br][br][color=#0000ff][i]This skill of translating is VITAL to successfully modeling problems we'll soon be solving in the future! [br]So, practice this skill as many times as you need in order to master this concept! [/i][/color]
