Q:
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of 38 and twice a number is 124 find the number
\n" ); document.write( "A:
\n" ); document.write( "The first equation 38 + 2n = 124 is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "You change the sign of the number when you transpose it.
\n" ); document.write( "The second equation should be
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 124 - 38
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 86
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28n+=+43%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
