document.write( "Question 338840: Hi, Im Beckah. Im having issues with my math homework. Im in geometry, but we have an algebra problem in our homework. The question is \" Which equation represents the following problem? Fifteen minus three times a number(n) equels negitive twenty-two. Find the number.\" So, I found the equation - it's 15-3n=-22 , right? So, now Im trying to find the number, but everytime I solve for it I get the wrong number, I know this becuase I go back and check, but I don't get -22. Do you think you could help me out? Thank you. :) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Right.
\n" ); document.write( "15-3n= -22
\n" ); document.write( "3n = 15+22
\n" ); document.write( "3n = 37
\n" ); document.write( "n = 37/3 = 12 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Checking:
\n" ); document.write( "15 - 3(37/3) = -22
\n" ); document.write( "15 - 37 = -22
\n" ); document.write( "-22 = -22
