Communicating math symbols and translating word
problems into algebraic expressions and equations are
skills necessary in algebra. For each assignment in this
course, you will use Microsoft Word Equation Editor to
practice these skills.
Your assignment is to replicate the following equation
using the Microsoft Word Equation Editor.
X –
y =
-Vx3+5
(x2-c)(x+d)
+2
Once you have successfully replicated the equation, save
and upload the Word document you created.
If you need assistance creating the equation, download
the following document that uses a step-by-step approach
to building the equation:

Assigned Task
Recreate the following algebraic expression, using
Microsoft Equation Editor 2010
x + x2 – 4
y =
+ 1
(x3 – a) (x – b)
Instructions for Word 2010
1. Open a new Microsoft Word document.
2. On the ribbon at the top, click Insert.
3. Rest your cursor on the a symbol (PI symbol),
which is located above the word “Equation.”
(The tab will be highlighted.) Click the a
symbol (don’t click the word “Equation” for
now) and a panel with the words “Type
equation here” appears in your document as
shown below.
Type equation here
Type y = into this equation panel right now as
you start to recreate your assigned equation.
The panel shrinks or expands to adjust to the
inserted items. Now it looks like this:
y =
4. To continue working on your assigned
algebraic expression, look for the
mathematical symbols and operators you
need in the new “equation” ribbon that
appears when you clicked the a symbol. Your
equation ribbon looks like this:

5. Notice on your screen that the equation ribbon
is divided into two areas – individual Symbols
on the left and Structures on the right.
6. The next thing you need in your assigned
equation after the equal sign is a fraction. To
get this, go to the Structures area in your
equation ribbon, click the Fraction template
and then, in the large drop down panel, click
the fraction placeholder as shown here:

7. Your equation now looks like this, including
the two placeholders for the numerator and
denominator of your fraction.
y =
8. Now type the x+ in the little box in the
numerator of your fraction placeholder so
that your figures now look like this:
x +
y =
Note: At this point you might be able to figure out on your own how to use
your EE Toolbar to recreate the entire algebraic expression you were
assigned. Try it! If you make a mistake position the cursor precisely and
backspace once or twice to delete your error and start from where you left
off. If you need further instructions, they are provided below.
9. Note that after the x+ in the numerator of
your fraction you need a “radical” symbol.
Find the Radical template on the Structures
side of the equation ribbon, click it, and then,
in the drop down menu, click the radical
symbol that looks right for your equation. The
equation should now look like this:
x+ve
y =
10. Inside the radical, you need an x with an
exponent of 2. (That is, you need an .) Click
the Script template in the Structures area
and then in the drop down menu, click the

type an x in the main box of the placeholder
and a 2 in the superscript box, and you
