In this chapter, we will compare expressions to each other with an equal sign, and create an <em>equation<\/em>. 3x + 1 is an expression; 3x + 1 = 7 is an equation. By making a comparison to 7, we can now solve and find the value of x. One of the skills we will work on this week is translating words in to mathematical phrases. The video below reviews some basic key words to look out for and how to write them as numbers and operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TRANSLATING WORDS INTO ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS!\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KmuWR_LriQU?start=75&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c765a3d61ac40ec221f150a2db333467\" style=\"color:#1e2fe1\"><a href=\"\"><\/a><em><strong><mark style=\"color:#1e2fe1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">7th Grade Math &#8211; Mrs. VonFeldt &amp; Mrs. Evans<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77518bce0564d4ca430d13be61550833\" style=\"color:#1e2fe1\"><strong>We are finishing our study of geometry this week as we learn to find the volume of prisms.
