find A Number Such That Seven Times 1 Less Than Twice The Number Is The Same As 5 More Than 10 Times The Number.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = \"a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write what it says, place the equal sign where it says,\"is the same as\"
\n" ); document.write( "7(2n-1) = 10n + 5
\n" ); document.write( "14n - 7 = 10n + 5
\n" ); document.write( "14n - 10n = 5 + 7
\n" ); document.write( "4n = 12
\n" ); document.write( "n = $\"12%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, substitute 3 for n in the original statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"A Number Such That Seven Times 1 Less Than Twice The Number Is The Same As 5 More Than 10 Times The Number.\"
\n" ); document.write( "7(2(3) - 1) = 10(3) + 5
\n" ); document.write( "7(6-1) = 30 + 5; confirms our solution of n=3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
