You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let n = \"a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for exactly what it says:
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "If the product of a number and -15 is decreased by 25, the result is 23 greater than the product of the number and 9.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-15n - 25 = 9n + 23
\n" ); document.write( "-15n - 9n = 23 + 25
\n" ); document.write( "-24n = 48
\n" ); document.write( "n = $\"48%2F%28-24%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "n = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this answer in the original equation \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
