Is this dude really SERIOUS? Why does the problem refer to a certain number throughout, yet he
decides to assign 2 DIFFERENT variables (p and n) to that VERY SAME number? That is truly one of the
mist RIDICULOUS things I've ever seen. Plus, as a supposed "tutor," why would he spell forty as FOURTY?
Do these people need spellcheck for every single word they type? And, what's the sense in spelling/misspelling
40 when you can just write "40?"
I really feel sorry for the person who asked for help. How is he/she going to be able to find that certain number
with the following equation: 4p = 40 - n, or 4p = FOURTY - n?
p, the certain number
4p, four times a certain number
4p=, four times a certain number is equal to....
40-n, the certain number subtracted from fourty
