You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder
\n" ); document.write( "Here Dividend = 67 - 2x
\n" ); document.write( " Divisor = x
\n" ); document.write( " Quotient = 14
\n" ); document.write( " Remainder = 3
\n" ); document.write( "So 67 - 2x = 14x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "or 14x + 2x = 67 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "or 16x = 64
\n" ); document.write( "or x = 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check: Dividend = 67 -2x = 67 - 2 * 4 = 67 - 8 = 59
\n" ); document.write( " 59/4 = 14(quotient) with remainder 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
