We want to have all n's on one side and all numbers on the other side.
\n" ); document.write( "What ever we do to one side, we should do to to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "add n to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "n+n-20=8
\n" ); document.write( "add 20 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "n+n=28
\n" ); document.write( "combine n's
\n" ); document.write( "2n=28
\n" ); document.write( "We still want all numbers on one side
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2 (both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "n=14
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
