You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n = \"the number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Find a number seven-fourths of which exceeds its three-fourths by 150.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F4\"$ n - $\"3%2F4\"$ n = 150
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 4, this cancels the denominators and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "7n - 3n = 4(150)
\n" ); document.write( "4n = 600
\n" ); document.write( "n = 600/4
\n" ); document.write( "n = 150
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F4\"$ *150 - $\"3%2F4\"$ *150 = 150
\n" ); document.write( "262.5 - 112.5 = 150 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
