All elements must use same unit system

Formula for distance (speed and time)

extdistance=extspeedimesexttime ext{distance} = ext{speed} imes ext{time}

Formula: Rectangle perimeter

2imesextlength+2imesextwidth2 imes ext{length} + 2 imes ext{width}

Formula: Rectangle area

First step when solving word problems

Read carefully and identify known information

Key to speed problems equation setup

Distance stays same, so set expressions equal

Final step after solving the equation

Write answer as complete sentence

After defining variable, do this with other quantities

Express them in terms of your variable
