You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want to define a variable and be able to manipulate that variable to whatever the question is asking you.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For Q1, let k be Kathryn's height in inches. Then k-2 would be two inches shorter than Kathryn's height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or for Q2, let x be the number. \"Quotient\" implies you are dividing, and the quotient of a number and 13 is assumed to be x/13.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try the others the same way. \n" ); document.write( "
