You can put this solution on YOUR website!
He started with x money.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After buying the shirt, he has \"3x%2F4\"; and then gave $3 to charity, now having \"3x%2F4-3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2F4-3%29%2F2\" goes into the bank.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2F4-3%29-%281%2F2%29%283x%2F4-3%29=15\", what he has now after the shirt, the charity, the bank deposit.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2F4-3%29%281-1%2F2%29=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2F4-3%29%2F2=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2F4-3=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-4%2A3=4%2A30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-12=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=132\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=132%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=44%29\", his initial amount.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
