In mathematics, a verbal rule refers to a rule or relationship described using words instead of symbols or equations. It is a way to express mathematical concepts and operations in plain language, making it easier to understand and apply mathematical principles in real-life situations.

Verbal rules are commonly used in word problems to outline specific instructions or conditions that help solve mathematical equations or analyze mathematical concepts. These rules can pertain to various mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

For example, consider the following verbal rule: "To solve a problem with two unknown numbers, find their sum and then subtract one from the other." This verbal rule is describing the process of solving a word problem using addition and subtraction.

By translating verbal rules into mathematical expressions and equations, we can transform the given instructions into a formal mathematical language that can be solved and analyzed using mathematical operations and principles.
