You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's call your number N.
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2BN%29%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To solve the problem, put the knowns on one side and unknown on the other.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2BN%29%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2BN%29%2Across%284%29%2Fcross%284%29=16%2F4\"$ Divide both sides by 4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2BN%29=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%283%29-cross%283%29%2BN=4-3\"$ Subtract 3 from boths sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28N=1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2BN%29%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2B1%29%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer led to a true statement.
\n" ); document.write( "It's a good solution.
\n" ); document.write( "Your number is 1. \n" ); document.write( "
