let number be x
\n" ); document.write( "4 less than 6 times = 6x-4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "40 more than half = 40+(x/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x-4 = 40 + (x/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x-(x/2) = 40+4
\n" ); document.write( "11x/2 = 44\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= 2*44/11
\n" ); document.write( "x=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number is 8
