Some number (n) times 5 plus 7 gives us 12. This is simply:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5n + 7 = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and if you want to solve:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5n +7-7 = 12 -7 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5n = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
