You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need to find the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2A%28x-15%29\"$ would be 6 times the sum of a number and -15. \"is\" in a word problem like this always means equals
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2A%28x-15%29=76%2B4x\"$ more than means to add just like sum. So this is the equation now you simply solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6x-90=76%2B4x\"$ Multiply the six to get rid of paranthesis (sp)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=166\"$ Add 90 to both sides, and subtract 4x from both sides to get like variables on the same side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=83\"$ Divide both sides by 2. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
