document.write( "1. Look for the letter that is in the parentheses of the \r\n" );
document.write( "functional notation in the beginning.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's x because the functional notation g(x) has an x in the\r\n" );
document.write( "parentheses.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2. Look at what is in the parentheses of what you are to find\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's 5n because g(5n) is what you want to find and it has\r\n" );
document.write( "5n in the parentheses.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3. Replace the letter in step 1 by what we found in step 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we replace x by 5n in  g(x) = -3x + 2:\r\n" );
