Algebra.Com's Answer #405544 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Four added to the quotient of a number and 6 is equal to 11 less than the number. What is the number? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "let n = \"the number\" and just write an equation for what it says: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6 \n" ); document.write( "n = 6(n-15) \n" ); document.write( "n = 6n - 90 \n" ); document.write( "90 = 6n - n \n" ); document.write( "90 = 5n \n" ); document.write( "n = 90/5 \n" ); document.write( "n = 18 is the number \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "See if that works in the statement \n" ); document.write( "\"Four added to the quotient of a number and 6 is equal to 11 less than the number\" \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "3 + 4 = 7 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
