If you are trying to find the number,this should be set up as an equation
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = a number
\n" ); document.write( "7 less than 2 times a number is set up as 2n-7
\n" ); document.write( "we are told that 2n-7 = 19
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for n
\n" ); document.write( "2n-7 = 19 - add 7 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 26 - divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "n = 13
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
