You can put this solution on YOUR website! take 3 away from the number and multiply the result by 2,
the final result is equal to a quarter of the number.
:
2(n - 3) = n
multiply both sides by 4
8(n - 3) = n
8n - 24 = n
8n - n = 24
7n = 24
n = 24/7
:
Not an integer, check and see if this is true
2( - 3) = *
2( - ) =
2() = = ; the same fractions
