document.write( "Change the words \"four times six\" to 24.\r\n" );
document.write( "Change the words \"a number\" and \"the number\" to x, and\r\n" );
document.write( "Change the words \"is the same as\" to an equal sign:\r\n" );

\r\n" );
document.write( "Change \"24 times x\" to 24x\r\n" );
document.write( "Change \"7 times x\" to 7x\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " 24x = 7x
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Subtract 7x from both sides:\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( " 17x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by 17\r\n" );
