You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please see my Lesson Plan in algebra.com called "Introduction to Word Problems" in the "Human and algebraic language" topic. It has just the explanation you need to do these types of translation problems.
a-A three foot piece fo string is cut.If one piece is x long , how long is the other piece? 12-x
b-Twenty raffle tickets were sold. If g girls bought raffel tickets how many boys bought raffel tickets? 20 - g
c-A pizza has 12 slices. If Karen ate p slices how many slices are left? 12- p
d-Write a general method for expressing two parts of a whole using a single variable? If W = the Whole, then let x = first part, and W-x = second part.
