\n" ); document.write( "3* quantity=5 < x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then got stuck again..Need help
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I think \"5 less than x\" is x-5.
\n" ); document.write( "3 times that is
\n" ); document.write( "3*(x-5), or 3x-15
\n" ); document.write( "I think 3*(x-5) is the answer expected.
\n" ); document.write( "
