It's almost as if algebra would also make more sense with better variable names, rather than simple letters...


It would. Start with the word problem. Define some variables maybe big or short-hand closer to actual description. Then use algebra with those variables to model the problem in math. Solve it. Others understand it more easily in peer review.

Much like programming and code review.
