We start with the number n :\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So to begin with, we have \" n \"
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( ">>...double the number...<<\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Now so far we have \" 2n \"\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( ">>...add 5...<<\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Now so far we have \" 2n + 5 \"\r
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( ">>...double the result...<<\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Now so far we have \" 2(2n+5) \"  or \" 4n + 10 \"\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( ">>...subtract 10...<<\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Now so far we have \" 4n+10 - 10 \", or \" 4n \" \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( ">>...divide the answer by 4<<\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Now so far we 4n/4 or \" n \", back where we started!\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So no matter what you start with, you end up with what you started with,\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So if you start with 1, 3, 5 or 7, or any other number, you end up with 1, 3,
\n" );
document.write( "5, or 7, or whatever number you started with.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Edwin  \n" );
document.write( "
