Converting Words into Numbers

To change a word equation into a numerical equation, we can replace keywords with numbers or operations.

  • times = multiply
  • twice = multiply by 2
  • 'a number' = Let this equal x
  • equals/is = equals

Solving the Question

We're given:

  • Six times twice a number equals 72

    ⇒ six = 6
    ⇒ times = ×
    ⇒ twice a number = 2x
    ⇒ equals = =
    ⇒ 72 = 72

  • 6 × 2x = 72

Answer

6 × 2x = 72
