Let x represent the unknown number.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The product of 4 and the number is the product of 4 and x ... or 4x.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Nine more than 4x is 4x + 9
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And that is to equal 73. In equation form this is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 9 = 73
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 9 from both sides of this equation to get rid of the 9 on the left side and the
\n" ); document.write( "equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 64
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4 and the result is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64/4 = 16
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The unknown number is 16.
\n" ); document.write( ".
