Question 70107
Four less than three times a number is three more than two times the number.  What is the number?
Let a number be:x
four less than three times that number is:3x-4
is:=
three more than two times the number: 2x+3
Problem to solve:
3x-4=2x+3
3x-2x-4=2x-2x+3
x-4=3
x-4+4=3+4
{{{highlight(x=7)}}}
Sanity Check:
3(7)-4=2(7)+3
21-4=14+3
17=17  We seem to be sane for the moment.
Happy Calculating!!!!
