let $\"x\"$ be a number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"8\"$ $\"less\"$ than the $\"quotient\"$ of a $\"number\"$ and $\"4\"$ is $\"1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the $\"quotient\"$ of a $\"number\"$ and $\"4\"$ : you write it as $\"x%2F4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"8\"$ $\"less\"$ than $\"x%2F4\"$ :you write it as $\"x%2F4-8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is $\"1\"$ : you write it as $\"x%2F4-8=1\"$ ...solve for $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F4=1%2B8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F4=9\"$ \r
