Starting with:
\n" ); document.write( "8(1-2z) < 25+z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the 8 on the left:
\n" ); document.write( "8-16z < 25+z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Add 16z to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "8 < 25+17z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 25 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "-17 < 17z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 17
\n" ); document.write( "-1 < z
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Which says, \"-1 is less than z\"
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
