You just turn on the power to the comb, then slowly brush along your scalp.

Use the information you learn from the problem, including keywords, to write an algebraic description of the story. For example, you know that the second book is $80, and you know what $80 equals in terms of the price of the first book (x{\displaystyle x}). So set 80 equal to $10 less (10{\displaystyle -10} ) than 3 times the price of the first book (3x{\displaystyle 3x}). Putting everything together, you have 80=3x10{\displaystyle 80=3x-10}. If you have only one unknown in your word problem, isolate the variable in your equation and find which number it is equal to. Use the normal rules of algebra to isolate the variable. Remember that you need to keep the equation balanced. This means that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. Use inverse operations to isolate a variable. For example, to isolate the variable in the equation 80=3x10{\displaystyle 80=3x-10}, you need to add 10 to both sides, then divide by 3:80=3x10{\displaystyle 80=3x-10}80+10=3x10+10{\displaystyle 80+10=3x-10+10}90=3x{\displaystyle 90=3x}903=3x3{\displaystyle {
rac {90}{3}}={
rac {3x}{3}}}30=x{\displaystyle 30=x} If you have more than one unknown in your word problem, you need to make sure you combine like terms to simplify your equation. When combining like terms, remember that only terms with the same exponent and variable can be combined. For example, 4x{\displaystyle 4x} and 2x{\displaystyle 2x} can be combined, 3x2{\displaystyle 3x^{2}} and 5x2{\displaystyle 5x^{2}} can be combined, and 8xy{\displaystyle 8xy} and 4xy{\displaystyle 4xy} can be combined. Look back to your list of variables and unknown information. This will remind you what you were trying to solve. Write a statement indicating what your answer means. For example, since x=the price of the first book{\displaystyle x={ ext{the price of the first book}}}, and 30=x{\displaystyle 30=x}, you know that the price of the first book Jane bought was $30.

Reread your final manuscript with your working title in mind. Does it still fit? Strive for a final title that is concise and compelling. A title should sum up the message of your book in a way that piques interest but is not excessively mysterious. Include the title in a larger font on the cover of the book. Google your prospective title to make sure it isn't already taken. Sharpen your title idea by using precise nouns and active verbs. "Sadness beside the Tree" is less compelling than "Longing under the Maple." Keep key plot points or spoilers a secret with your title. If there is a subheading to your title, put it below the title in a smaller font. The exact point size of each will depend upon the look you're going for and the physical size of the book. Seek out at examples at your local bookstore to get inspiration. If you'll be hiring a graphic designer to create your cover, simply write down your final title name. You designer will incorporate your title into your design. Add your byline, meaning "by Your Name," on the cover of your self-published book underneath the title in a smaller font.

The art director of the New York Times Book Review selects the best covers from each year's crop of books. Review this list for a professional's opinion of the most compelling recent designs for different genres: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/books/review/book-covers.html Refrain from being too literal or expository in your cover design. Including too many images can be busy and confusing, or worse, look boring and outdated. For example, if your self-published book is about polygamy, rather than having a cover with many brides, a stressed-looking groom, and lots of children, opt for a cover with multiple wedding bands on a finger to sum up the idea. If your self-published book is about balancing children and work, a pacifier sitting on a calculator could be an effective symbolic representation. Everyone remembers those cheesy murder-mystery covers: A detective behind a door with a flashlight, inset images of the villain, a secret trunk, and other mystery paraphernalia. Steer clear of that cluttered look!
