document.write( "There is nothing added to or subtracted from the term involving the \" r \".\r\n" );
document.write( "So we can simply put the \" p \" and the \" t \" underneath both sides of the\r\n" );
document.write( "equation and then cancel them away on the right, leaving only the \" r \".\r\n" );

document.write( "Then all that's left on the right that didn't cancel was the \" r \".  So we\r\n" );
