when 4 is added to a number and the result divided by 5, the final result is 44 less than the original number.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number ?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for exactly what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2Bn%29%2F5\" = n - 44
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5, resulting in:
\n" ); document.write( "4 + n = 5(n-44)
\n" ); document.write( "4 + n = 5n - 220
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 220 = 5n - n
\n" ); document.write( "224 = 4n
\n" ); document.write( "n = \"224%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "n = 56
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2856%2Bn%29%2F5\" = 56 - 44
\n" ); document.write( "\"60%2F5\" = 12; confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
