Start a problem by responding as directly and simply as possible to what is asked for. Use a concept in preference to some given condition in the problem. Here, the concept (idea) used is that the whole is the sum of the parts. What is asked for will often start with such words as how, where, find, show that and when. What is asked for is frequently terminated with a question mark.
