22 - 5(6v - 1) = 63\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The most common error that would be likely to be made here\r\n" );
document.write( "would be to violate \"PEMDAS\" and do 22 - 5 first and get 17.\r\n" );
document.write( "That would be wrong.  We must multiply first by distributing\r\n" );
document.write( "the -5 into the parentheses:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "22 - 30v + 5 = 63\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Combine the 22 and the +5, getting 27\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    27 - 30v = 63\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Subtract 27 from both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        -30v = 36\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by -30\r\n" );

document.write( "           v = 36/(-30)\r\n" );
