translate the following sentence into equation do not solve
\n" ); document.write( " nine times the difference of four and number is 81\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the number be N\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Usually, the difference between two numbers is calculated as the larger minus the smaller. In this case, if N is larger than 4, then the sentence will read:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%289%28N+-+4%29+=+81%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if 4 is larger than N, then the sentence will read:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%289%284+-+N%29+=+81%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If both are solved, each will yield a different value for N\r
