\n" ); document.write( "Write as You Read
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3(x + (x+1)+(x+2)) = 8(x+1) +5
\n" ); document.write( "3(3x+3)= 8x + 8 + 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "simplify and solve
\n" ); document.write( "9x +9 = 8x + 13
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)= 5
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)= 6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check your answer
\n" ); document.write( "3*15 = 8*5 + 5 \n" ); document.write( "
