What variable would you like to use for, "a number"?


Your sequence of letters and digits does not show punctuation at the end. Is that a statement or a question?


You could find this, "a number", if you would assign a variable to it, and then transcribe the description literally into symbols.






Take another look at the description:
Nine more than 5 times a number is 49

Do you see that it is the same as like, "Five times a number is 40"?
Now what do you think?
