“the difference between seven times a number and nine is equal to the difference
\n" ); document.write( "between ten times the number and three”
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 9 = 10x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "-9 + 3 = 10x - 7x
\n" ); document.write( "-6 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%28-6%29%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that works:
\n" ); document.write( "7(-2) - 9 = 10(-2) - 3
\n" ); document.write( "-14 - 9 = -20 - 3, it does\r
