Here is the original equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(i) $\"0.03y+%2B+0.13%281000+-+y%29+=0.40y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - distribute the 0.13 to get
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) $\"0.03y+%2B+130+-+0.13y+=+0.40y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - combine like terms on the left to get
\n" ); document.write( "(iii) $\"-0.10y+%2B+130+=+0.40y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 - add 0.10y to get
\n" ); document.write( "(iv) $\"130+=+.5y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - divide to get
\n" ); document.write( "(v) $\"y+=+260\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
