document.write( "Note: In order to 'use the words' and translate them into an algebraic Expression:
\n" );
document.write( "the important 1st Step is to let \"x\" represent the \"unknown\" amongst the words,  
\n" );
document.write( "which is  \"a number\" in these particular examples:
\n" );
document.write( "- One fifth the sum of 7 times 'a number' and 10 is: 1/5(7x+10)
\n" );
document.write( "- Three times 'a number' is divided by 7: 3x/7
\n" );
document.write( "- x is reduced by a factor of 12: (1,2,3,4,6 and 12 being the factors of 12)
\n" );
document.write( " x-1, x-2, x-3, x-4, x-6, x -12 are among the algebraic expressions described
\n" );
document.write( "- The sum of 'a number' and two thirds of its opposite is:  x + 2/3(-x)
\n" );
