\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the units digit.

\n" ); document.write( "Then, since the units digit is 2 more than the tens digit, the tens digit is x-2.

\n" ); document.write( "The number itself is 10 times the tens digit, plus the units digit: 10(x-2)+x = 11x-20.

\n" ); document.write( "The number, divided by 7 times the units digit, gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4. The means the number is 4 more than 7 times the units digit:

\n" ); document.write( "\"11x-20+=+7x%2B4\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve using basic algebra.

\n" ); document.write( "But finishing the problem is not the important thing for you. What is important is to understand the part of the problem I showed -- the process of converting the given information into an equation that can be solved.
