    If 3 times a number added to 2 is divided by the number plus 4 the result is 4/3

    Take this in pieces, where "a number" means an arbitrary variable, let's call it "x".

    1. 3 times a number --> 3x
    2. 3 times a number added to 2 --> 3x + 2
    3. The number plus 4 --> x + 4
    4. is divided by --> (3x + 2)/(x + 4)
    5. the result is 4/3 --> (3x + 2)/(x + 4) = 4/3
