You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Just write an equation for what it says: x = \"a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "eleven is subtracted form a number and then the difference is multiplied by 5 the result is 30
\n" ); document.write( "5(x - 11) = 30
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 55 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 30 + 55
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 85
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"85%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 17
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check it in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "
