Let x=the number
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"3x%2F5\"= quotient of three times the number and 5
\n" ); document.write( "And\"%283x%2F5%29%2B4\"=quotient increased by 4 and we are told that this equals 34:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2F5%29%2B4=34\" multiply each term by 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%283x%2F5%29%285%29%29%2B4%2A5=34%2A5\" simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B20=170\" subtract 20 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B20-20=170-20\" collect like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=150\" divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=50\"---------------ans\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"30%2B4=34\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"34=34\"\r
