$\"+8x+%2B+3+%2B+x+=+5x+%2B+3+%2B+4x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+%2B+3+=+9x+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is an identity
\n" ); document.write( "If I subtract $\"3\"$ from both sides,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+=+9x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If I divide both sides by $\"9\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If I divide both sides by $\"x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1+=+1+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
