Two thirds of a number is subtracted from 22 and the answer is three times the number.
\n" ); document.write( " Write an equation and solve
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "just write the equation for what it says
\n" ); document.write( "22 - $\"2%2F3\"$ n = 3n
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by 3 to get rid of the denominator, you then have
\n" ); document.write( "3(22) - 2n = 3(3n)
\n" ); document.write( "66 - 2n = 9n
\n" ); document.write( "66 = 9n + 2n
\n" ); document.write( "66 = 11n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 66/11
\n" ); document.write( "n = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "22 - $\"2%2F3\"$ (6) = 3(6)
\n" ); document.write( "22 - 4 = 18
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
