This is a basic translation of words into an algebraic expression and is an essential fundamental skill to learn.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Four times a number is 4x (or any letter you'd like to use; x is the most common). \"Is\" means equals; 21 more than a number is x+21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your equation is 4x = x + 21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 21
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "4(7) =? 7 + 21
\n" ); document.write( "28 = 28 \"check\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
