Two thirds of a number reduced by 11 is equal to 4 more than the number. Find the number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ x-11=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "Add 11 to both sides;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ x-11+11=x+4+11
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x from bpth sides;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ x-x=x+15-x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F3\"$ x=15
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -3;
\n" ); document.write( "(-3) $\"-1%2F3\"$ x=15(-3)
\n" ); document.write( "x=-45
