if we let x equal the number, then:
\n" ); document.write( "\"the quotient of twice a number and 8\" becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/8
\n" ); document.write( "\"the quotient of twice a number and 8 added to 4\" becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/8 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"the quotient of twice a number and 8 added to 4 equals 16 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/8 + 4 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "solve that equation for your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/8 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of that equation by 8 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of that equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "that should be your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
