Edwin's solution:
\n" ); document.write( "What is twice the quotient of 50 and the sum of a number y and 8?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "First we look at the this underlined part:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "What is twice the quotient of 50 and the sum of a number y and 8?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"the sum of a number y and 8\" means \"add y and 8\", so that's\r\n" );
document.write( "     y+8, so we put it in parentheses, (y+8), and replace those\r\n" );
document.write( "     underlined words by (y+8): \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "What is twice the quotient of 50 and (y+8)?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Next we underline this part:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "What is twice the quotient of 50 and (y+8)?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"the quotient of 50 and (y+8)\" means \"divide 50 by (y+8)\",\r\n" );
document.write( "     so we put 50 over (y+8), like this,  so we \r\n" );
document.write( "     put it in parentheses, , and replace those\r\n" );
document.write( "     underlined words by :\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "What is twice $\"%2850%2F%28y%2B8%29%29\"$ ?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we just underline:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "What is twice $\"%2850%2F%28y%2B8%29%29\"$ ?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "And of course \"twice\" means \"2 times\":\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we end up with \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
