Hi

I'm confused as to whether I should always use a table with algebraic translation problems, or just do them using direct algebra? For me the table method is the easiest however I am concerned that I may not always be able to use it - i.e. that there are some algebraic translation questions where you shouldn't use a table to organise the information neatly and then derive equations from that.

Any feedback would be great!

thanks

Question: When you say the table, do you mean age charts, or just using tables to keep variables straight?
