You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you can show this in a easy equation like this where N=Number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4N-8=N+1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "on the left we have eight less than four times a number because it is 8 less than 4N. on the right side we have the number increased by one which is just N+1. since both sides are equal if we do the same thing to both sides it will still be equal so lets add 8 to both sides...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4N-8=N+1
\n" ); document.write( "+8 +8
\n" ); document.write( "4N=N+9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now lets minus N from each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4N=N+9
\n" ); document.write( "-N -N
\n" ); document.write( "3N=9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now devide both sides by 3 to get your answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3N=9
\n" ); document.write( "/3 /3
\n" ); document.write( "N=3\r
