Let x = the number
\n" ); document.write( "then \"Twice the sum of a number and eleven\" = 2x + 11. So
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+11+=+4x+-+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x - 6 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+11+-+%282x+-+6%29+=+4x+-+6+-+%282x+-+6%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+11+-+2x+%2B+6+=+4x+-+6+-+2x+%2B+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+17+=+2x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+8.5+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
