\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+4+=+3n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n++-+n+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"++n+%2B+4+=+6+\"$
