Let n be the number you are looking for.
\n" ); document.write( "The quotient of a number (that's n) and 3 is expressed by:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2F3\"$ but you need four more than that so you just add 4 to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2F3+%2B+4+=+11\"$ Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2An%2F3+%2B+3%2A4+=+3%2A11\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B12+=+33\"$ Subtract 12 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+21\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
