Three more than 4 times a number is equal to 9 less than twice the number.
\n" ); document.write( "Let a number be:x
\n" ); document.write( "\"three more\" means +3
\n" ); document.write( "\"4 times\" means 4*
\n" ); document.write( "\"is equal\" means =
\n" ); document.write( "\"9 less\" means -9
\n" ); document.write( "\"twice\" means 2*
\n" ); document.write( "So your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "4x+3=2x-9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can solve this equation to find out the number:
\n" ); document.write( "4x+3=2x-9
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+4x+3=-2x+2x-9
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3=-9
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3-3=-9-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-12
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2=-12/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( "
