\n" ); document.write( "times means *
\n" ); document.write( "sum means +
\n" ); document.write( "equal means =
\n" ); document.write( "twice means 2*
\n" ); document.write( "difference means -
\n" ); document.write( "Let a number be n
\n" ); document.write( "Then your algebraic equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4n%2B1=2n-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2n%2B4n%2B1=-2n%2B2n-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2n%2B1=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2n%2B1-1=-2-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2n=-3\"
