$\"+-6x+-+17+%3E=+8x+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"+6x+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-17+%3E=+14x+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+25+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-42+%3E=+14x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-3+%3E=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "State it from right to left
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%3C=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Make $\"+x+\"$ a little smaller than $\"+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-3.1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-6x+-+17+%3E=+8x+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-6%2A%28-3.1%29+-+17+%3E=+8%2A%28-3.1%29+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+18.6+-+17+%3E=+-24.8+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.6+%3E=+.2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now $\"+x+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-6%2A3+-+17+%3E=+8%2A%28-3%29+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+18+-+17+%3E=+-24+%2B+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1+%3E=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
