    Translate this sentence into an equation. 43 is the sum of 17 and Gregs age. Use the variable g to represent Gregs age.

    The sum of 17 and Greg's age:
    g + 17

    The word is means equal to, so we set g + 17 equal to 43
    g + 17 = 43 <-- This is our algebraic expression

    If you want to solve this equation for g, use our equation calculator.
    g = 26
