Translating Professional Requests into Algebraic Expressions

Imagine you are training a new administrative assistant on how to process written budget requests and inventory reports. Explain the significance of 'operation keywords' in converting these English phrases into algebraic expressions. In your response, identify the four primary arithmetic operations (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division). For each operation, recall and state at least two specific English keywords and the mathematical symbol (++, - , \cdot, or ÷\div) that each keyword triggers in a translation.
