    Kelvin has twice as many chickens in his chicken coop as Murray has in his. If Kelvin has 60 chickens in his coop, write an equation to represent c , the number of chickens in Murray’s chicken coop.
    ::Kelvin的鸡舍比Murray的鸡舍多一倍。 如果Kelvin的鸡舍有60只鸡,那就写一个代表C的方程式,默里鸡舍的鸡数量。

    In this concept, you will learn to write single variable equations from verbal models.
    ::在此概念中,您将学习从语言模型中写出单一变量方程式。

    Writing Single Variable Equations from Verbal Models
    ::从口头模式中写入单一变数等量

    Changing a word problem into an equation can often help you in solving the problem. Carefully read the question to determine if the equation has addition , subtraction , multiplication , or division .
    ::将单词问题转换成方程式通常可以帮助您解决问题。 仔细阅读问题以确定方程式是否添加、 减法、 乘法或除法 。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Write “four times a number is twelve” as an equation.
    ::“一个数字的四倍是12”作为一个方程式。

    First, let x  be “a number.”
    ::首先,让x成为“一个数字”。

    Next, consider that the word “times” means you multiply.
    ::接下来,考虑一下,“时间”一词意味着你乘以乘法。

    4  times  x

    ::4乘4 xx 4 次

    4 x

    ::4x 4x

    Then, consider that the word “is” means equals.
    ::那么,认为“是”一词的意思是等同的。

    4 x  is  12

    ::4x12 4x12 4x12

    The equation is 4 x = 12 .
    ::方程式是4x=12

    Here is another example.
    ::下面是另一个例子。

    Write “seven less than a number is fourteen” as an equation.
    ::将“少于数字的七分之十四”作为一个等式写成。

    First, let x  be “a number.”
    ::首先,让x成为“一个数字”。

    7  less than  x  is  14

    ::7小于x14, 7小于x14

    Next, consider that “less than” means subtraction, but be careful about the order .
    ::其次,认为“低于”是指减法,但要注意顺序。

    x 7  is  14

    ::x-7为 14

    Then, consider that the word “is” means equals.
    ::那么,认为“是”一词的意思是等同的。

    x 7 = 14

    ::x-7=14 x-7=14

    The equation is x 7 = 14 .
    ::方程式是 x-7=14 。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about the chicken coops.
    ::早些时候,有人给了你 鸡舍的问题。

    Kelvin has 60 chickens, which is twice as many chickens as Murray has. How can Kelvin write a single variable equation to represent his number of chickens?
    ::Kelvin有60只鸡,是Murray的两倍。 Kelvin如何能写出一个能代表鸡数的变量方程式?

    First, simplify the language.
    ::首先,简化语言。

    Kelvin has 60 chickens and this is 2 times c , the number of chickens Murray has.
    ::Kelvin有60只鸡 这是Murray的2倍C

    Next, consider that “is” means equals, and “times” means multiplication.
    ::其次,认为“是”系指等值,“时间”是指乘法。

    60 = 2 × c 60 = 2 c

    ::60=2xxc60=2c

    The equation 60 = 2 c  represents the number of chickens in Murray’s coop.
    ::等式60=2c代表Murray的圈子里的鸡数量。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Carrie made 3 liters of lemonade for a party. After the party, she had 0.5 liters of lemonade left. Write an equation to represent n , the number of liters of lemonade that her guests drank.
    ::Carrie为派对做了3升柠檬水 派对后她还剩下0.5升柠檬水 写一个方程式代表n, 也就是她客人喝的柠檬水的公升数

    Use a number, an operation sign, a variable, or an equal sign to represent each part of the problem. Since the question tells you how many liters of lemonade were left after the party, this will be a subtraction equation.
    ::使用数字、 操作符号、 变量或等号来代表问题的每一部分。 既然问题可以告诉您在派对后还剩下多少升柠檬水, 这将是减法方程 。

    Carrie started with 3 liters, and n  is the number of liters that the guest drank. So, 3 n  is how much lemonade there was after the party, 0.5 liters.
    ::Carrie从3升开始, N是客人喝的升数。所以, 3升是派对之后有多少柠檬水, 0.5升。

    For this problem, it may help to write an equation in simplified words and then translate those words into an algebraic equation .
    ::对于这个问题,用简化的字句写出一个方程式,然后将这些字词转换成代数方程式,可能会有所帮助。

    (number of liters made) (number of liters guests drank) = (number of liters left) 3 n = 0.5

    ::=(剩下的升数)3-n=0.5

    The equation is  3 n = 0.5 .
    ::方程式是3 -n=0.5

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Write an equation for the following phrase: six and a number is twenty.
    ::写出以下短语的方程: 6, 数字为 20 。

    First, let x  be “a number.”
    ::首先,让x成为“一个数字”。

    6  and  x  is  20

    ::6和x为 20

    Next, consider that “and” means addition.
    ::其次,认为“和”意指添加。

    6 + x  is  20

    ::6+x是20 6+x是20

    Then, consider that the word “is” means equals.
    ::那么,认为“是”一词的意思是等同的。
