Thank you for checking in 🙂

If you're transcribing in Nemeth Code (with EBAE), no UEB:

  1. "Subtract ab from both sides."  An English Letter Indicator should precede the short-form letter combination ab
  2. "How can you isolate w?" An English Letter Indicator should precede the single letter w (and a punctuation indicator should precede the question mark that follows this variable).
  3.  "You can rewrite the right side as two terms, xaaba,…. etc."  An English Letter Indicator should not precede the c because it is immediately followed by a symbol of comparison.
  4. "Consider the equation  m−n = 4p" An English Letter Indicator should not precede the m because it is part of the unspaced mathematical expression m−n

Sections 25 and 26 of the Nemeth Code are super relevant to your questions. They can be a little "wordy," but they cover some important Nemeth/EBAE overlap.

Again, thank you for checking in. And thank you for your questions.
