$\"9a-3=7a%2B23\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Adding 3 to both sides of the equal sign, we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9a-3%2B3=7a%2B23%2B3\"$ --> $\"9a=7a%2B26\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting $\"7a\"$ from both sides of the equal sign, we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9a-7a=7a%2B26-7a\"$ --> $\"2a=26\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing both sides of the equal sign by 2, we get
