You can put this solution on YOUR website!
How do you get 22? I would like to see how you solved the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "14-1/4*n=22
\n" ); document.write( "First we will subtract 14 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"14-1%2F4n-14=22-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1%2F4n=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now we multiply both sides by the inverse of \"1%2F4\", which is \"4%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1%2F4n\"\"%2814%2F1%29=8%28-4%2F1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "n=-32
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"14-1%2F4\"\"%28-32%29=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14%2B32%2F4=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "14+8=22
\n" ); document.write( "I would like to see your work so I can tell you what you have done wrong, unless you can see it from my work.
