The following examples show common operations translated into algebraic expressions:
a. 8 dollars more than the cost of a tape: 8+t
b. 3 times faster than Fred's car: 3f
c. 2 inches less than Gail's height: g-2

The following examples show the above expressions as equations:
a. A CD costs 8 dollars more than a tape: c=8+t
b. Heather's car is 3 times faster than Fred's car: h =3f
c. Isabel's height is 2 inches less than Gail's height: i= g-2
The word "is" gives you a clue that a sentence translates into an equation. In other words, "is" represents the equal sign (=).
