You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x = \"a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Just write an equation for what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "The product of 6 and nine times a number is the same as the difference of ten times the number and 2.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6*(9x) = 10x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "54x = 10x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "54x - 10x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "44x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"%28-2%29%2F44\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"-1%2F22\"$ is the number
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "6*9* $\"-1%2F22\"$ = 10* $\"-1%2F22\"$ - 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-54%2F22\"$ = $\"-10%2F22\"$ - $\"44%2F22\"$ \r
