Linear Equations in One Variable

1. The document contains 30 math word problems involving linear equations, inequalities, ratios, and proportions. It asks the reader to solve the problems. 2. Some example problems include: finding two numbers in the ratio 2:5 whose difference is 15, determining speeds of boats traveling upstream and downstream, and calculating expenditures if a group paid boat rental fees equally but 3 more people joined. 3. The problems cover a wide range of math concepts and get progressively more difficult, testing skills like setting up and solving equations/inequalities, working with ratios, proportions, word problems, and multi-step logic puzzles.
