\n" ); document.write( "x + x+7 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "first part:: 9 mi \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "second part:: x+7 = 16 mi
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: You can check the algebra but you have to
