First, write the equation in algebra: Let n = the required number.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2B6n+=+n-5\" Simplify and solve for n. Subtract n from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2B5n+=+-5\" Now subtract 10 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5n+=+-15\" Finally, divide both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute n = -3 into the original equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+%2B+6%28-3%29+=+%28-3%29+-+5\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+%2B+%28-18%29+=+-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-8+=+-8\" It checks!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
