Set it up this way:
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = the number:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28n%2B3%29+=+n%2B11\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n%2B9+=+n%2B11\"$ Subtract n from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n%2B9+=+11\"$ Subtract 9 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n+=+2\"$ Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
