Translation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Five times a number  ---> '5n'\r\n" );
document.write( "is the same as       --->  '='\r\n" );
document.write( "30 more than         --->  '30+\r\n" );
document.write( "8 times the number   --->  '8n'\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So altogether, \"Five times a number is the same as 30 more than 8 times the number. Find the number\" translates to \"5n=30%2B8n\". I'll let you solve for 'n' to find the number.
