I seem to be doing fine learning most things except for word translations. I can't make an algebraic equation for the life of me. It makes me very envious when I see people answering word problem questions by creating algebraic equations. I have already gone through MGMAT's word translations chapter but I'm still struggling with it as it has not helped much.
Is there hope for me?

Making an algebraic equation after reading a question was a challenging task for me, but I have made some improvements by focusing on common question phrases used in OGs. I have separated some question phrases and made some notes to reduce my time in setting an equation.
