You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the number
\n" ); document.write( ".40 x = 40% of the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + .40x = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Commbine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "1.00x + .40x = 14
\n" ); document.write( "1.40x = 14
\n" ); document.write( "1.4x = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides of the equation by 1.4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281.4x%29%2F1.4+=+14%2F1.4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+14%2F1.4+=+140%2F14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
