Let us put the words into an equation. Let x = the number we are trying to find.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2B2x=4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let us now simplify. Subtract 2x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4=2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide 2 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number is 2.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
