\n" ); document.write( "1st: x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: x+1
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: x+2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2(x+1)+4
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2x+2+4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 (1st)
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 8
