document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "       10 + x = 14\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The terms on the left are 10 and x. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "There is one term on the right, 14.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "on the left that do not contain x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we get rid of the 10.  To get rid \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "of the 10 we add its oppposite, -10, \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "to both sides of the equation.  That \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "is, we write -10 under the 10 and \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "also under the 14,  then draw a line \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the 10 and the -10 cancel on the \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "left and we write nothing underneath. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We bring down the x and the equal sign. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we combine the 14 and the -10 and \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "get 4, so we end up with:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "       10 + x = 14\r\n" );
document.write( "      -10      -10 \r\n" );
