Can someone please help me? I need to turn this into my teacher ASAP but I'm too confused. I'll give you a medal if you help!

Answer 1

Step 1: Write five word phrases to be translated using the various key terms from the lesson. Examples must include variables, and there must be at least one example with an addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parenthesis and exponent, and one with a combination of phrases or symbols.
Step 2: Provide the algebraic translations to the five word phrases from Step 1.
Step 3: Write five different algebraic expressions to be translated. Examples must include variables, and there must be at least one example with an addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parenthesis and exponent, and one with a combination of phrases or symbols.
Step 4: Provide the translations of the expressions from Step 3.
Step 5: Create your own example of a mathematical phrase you might hear in the real world, and provide the translation for it. Be sure to identify what part of the phrase is represented by your variable.

Answer 2

I don't see a lesson list of key terms.

Have you tried looking at some examples on other web sites to get a feel for what you need to do?
