You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First name your variable \"a number\".
\n" ); document.write( "How about N?
\n" ); document.write( "3 times a number,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3N\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Decreased by 5 (subtract 5 from it), so all put together.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3N-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Doubled,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%283N-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The result means \"=\"
\n" ); document.write( "Twice the number,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2N\"$
\n" ); document.write( "14 less than twice the number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2N-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So now put the left hand side and the right hand side together along with \"=\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%283N-5%29=2N-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
