Solve: 9 more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 14
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = \"a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "9 + $\"x%2F3\"$ = 14
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 9 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F3\"$ = 14 - 9
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F3\"$ = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3, get rid of the denominator
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3*5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "9 + $\"15%2F3\"$ = 14
\n" ); document.write( "9 + 5 = 14
