You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this statement translates to x/5 + 7 = 42
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 7 from both sides of this equation to get x/5 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of this equation by 5 to get x = 5*35 = 175
\n" ); document.write( "that's your answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the quotient of 175 and 5 is equal to 175/5 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "7 more than that equals 35 + 7 = 42\r
