Multiply a number
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "        x \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "by 4
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "       4x\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "then subtract 7 from that product
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "       4x-7 \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "finally the result is divided by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "       \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "the result is 7.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "        = 7\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply both sides by 3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "       4x-7 = 21\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Add 7 to both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         4x = 28\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by 4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "          x = 7\r\n" );
