Work the equation so that only x is on the left hand side, everything else is on the right hand side.

\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B17%3E42\" --- Original problem
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B17-17%3E42-17\"--- Subtract 17 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%3E25\"--- Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%29%2F2%3E25%2F2\"--- Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3E25%2F2\" --- Final answer
\n" ); document.write( "
