\n" ); document.write( "The remaining number is x.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - multiply by 3 to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3V+=+x+%2B+y+%2B+z\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - subtract y and z to get x as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3V-Y+-+Z+=+X\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
