Let x=the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "IF five divided by the difference of a number and 1 equals the quotient of 10 and the sum of the number and 9, then,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F%28x-1%29=10%2F%28x%2B9%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BY cross multiplication.,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28x%2B9%29=10%28x-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B45=10x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x-10=5x%2B45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x-5x-10=5x-5x%2B45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-10=0%2B45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-10=45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-10%2B10=45%2B10\"
