Let n= the number. The equation will look like: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=1%2F2%2An+=+12n%2B7 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"1%2F2%2An+=+12n%2B7\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. You can think of the \"is\" in the problem as meaning \"equals\". Then you need to solve for n. Subtract 12n from both sides of the equation to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=-11+1%2F2%2A+n+=7 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"-11+1%2F2%2A+n+=7\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. This also can be written as <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=-23%2F2%2An+=+7 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"-23%2F2%2An+=+7\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Multiply both sides by -2/23 (the reciprocal) to get n by itself: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=n+=+-14%2F23 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"n+=+-14%2F23\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Our number is -14/23. =] I hope this helps! Please visit and join my website at www.myonlinetutor.webs.com for solutions. </SPAN>\n" );
