When you see:
\n" ); document.write( "\"four times a number\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since you don't know what the \"number\" is, you must assign it a variable:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = a number
\n" ); document.write( "then you would have
\n" ); document.write( "4x (that's all there is to it) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
