Three times a number and 3/4 is equal to five times the product of a number and 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "As written, it is somewhat ambiguous:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Does it mean 3(x + \"3%2F4\") = 10x
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "does it mean 3x + \"3%2F4\" = 10x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It's a poorly written problem, no wonder students are have difficulty with it.
