\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+3c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%2B3+=+2%2A%28c%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "By substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3c+%2B+3+=+2c+%2B+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
