You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just translate the sentence into an equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2B+%28x-6%29%2F4=+30+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's begin by subtracting 10 from each side:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-6%29%2F4=20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 4:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-6+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=86\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: Do what the sentence says to do! \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Begin with x = the number = 86
\n" ); document.write( "Six is subtracted from a number: 86-6=80
\n" ); document.write( "Result is divided by four: 80/4= 20
\n" ); document.write( "This result is added to 10: 20 + 10 = 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It checks!\r
