\n" ); document.write( "Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the unknown number.
\n" ); document.write( " -19 times a number minus 62 is equal to -7 less than a number
\n" ); document.write( "What is the number? -19x -62= x-7 ***
\n" ); document.write( " -19x -62= x-7
\n" ); document.write( " -20x = 55
\n" ); document.write( " x = \"%28-55%2F20%29+=+%28-11%2F4%29\" = -234
