b) 7n−3=n+4

In this case, 'n' is used in place of the word 'number'. 'Product' refers to multiplication, so we multiply n by 7. 3 LESS refers to subtraction, so we subtract 3 from 7n. Then, we know that the solution to that is four more than what the actual number is. MORE refers to addition, so we add 4 to n.
b) 7n−3=n+4  so then n=(7/6) so n =1.6666....
