A number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Divided by 15.
\n" ); document.write( "x/15
\n" ); document.write( "Thrice the difference of this number and 36
\n" ); document.write( "3*(36 - x/15)
\n" ); document.write( "Arrives at 24
\n" ); document.write( "3(36 - x/15) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out
\n" ); document.write( "108 - x/5 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "- x/5 = 24 - 108
\n" ); document.write( "-x/5 = - 84
\n" ); document.write( "x/5 = 84
\n" ); document.write( " x = 84*5
\n" ); document.write( " x = 420.
\n" ); document.write( "This is Riza's number
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "420/15 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "3(36 - 28) = 24.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
