\n" ); document.write( "Let's begin by writing your mixed fraction as an improper fraction. So,
\n" ); document.write( "2_3/4 can be written as 11/4.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the attendance on Thursday.
\n" ); document.write( "We know that 792 people attended Friday's game.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is your equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(11/4)(x) = 792, which can also be written as (11x/4) = 792\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 4 to remove the fraction on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 * (11x/4) = 792 * 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "11x = 3168\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide 3168 by 11 to find x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 3168/11\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 288\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, 288 people attended Thursday's game.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
