four times a number increased by 2 is the same as three times a number increased by 9
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace the words \"a number\" by x\r\n" );
document.write( "

four times x increased by 2 is the same as three times x increased by 9
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace the word \"Four\" by \"4\" and the word \"three\" by \"3\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

4 times x increased by 2 is the same as 3 times x increased by 9
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace the words \"4 times x\" by \"4x\" and the words \"3 times x\" by \"3x\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

4x increased by 2 is the same as 3x increased by 9
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace the words \"increased by\" by \"+\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

4x + 2 is the same as 3x + 9

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 4x + 2 = 3x + 9
\n" ); document.write( " 4x+ 2 - 2 = 3x + 9 - 2
\n" ); document.write( " 4x = 3x + 7
\n" ); document.write( " 4x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 7
\n" ); document.write( " x = 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number is 7.\r
