$\"a-5=b-2=c%2B3=d-4=x%2B3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"5\"$ to all terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a-5%2B5=b-2%2B5=c%2B3%2B5=d-4%2B5=x%2B3%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=b%2B3=c%2B8=d%2B1=x%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So if you look at the numbers on a number line,
\n" ); document.write( "Add 3 to b to get a, b is 3 positions left of a.
\n" ); document.write( "Add 8 to c and x to get a, c and x are both 8 positions left of a.
\n" ); document.write( "Add 1 to d to get a, d is 1 position left of a.
\n" ); document.write( "From least to greatest,
\n" ); document.write( "c,x have the same value, then b,then d, and finally a.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
