Express \"x\" as the number you are referring to.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Twenty-nine less than\" means it will subtract 29 out of \"twice a number\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Twice a number\" means it will be twice the amount of x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"is -47\" Everything above will meet the conditional statement that it will equal -47
\n" ); document.write( "To express it as an equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+-+29+=+-47+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now we will need to find x as it is the \"number\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+-+29+%2B+29+=+-47+%2B+29+\" Addition Property of Equality
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%2F2+=+-18%2F2+\" Division Property of Equality
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+-9+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you plug in the x value on the equation shown above. You will find that it meets the conditional statement that it will equal -47.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
