\n" ); document.write( "x+2
\n" ); document.write( "x+4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2*x = x+4 +5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 11
\n" ); document.write( "x +4 = 13
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Checking...
\n" ); document.write( "2*9 = 18
