Do you know that you can translate a simple statement into a mathematical
expression? For example, if I tell you to think of a number, double that number and
increase it by 6. How will you represent this by numbers and mathematical
operations? Today we will take many everyday situations or problems, and express
them in terms of letters and numbers, and finally find the missing quantities
through mathematical calculations?
