Let $\"+n+\"$ = the number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+%2B+16+=+3n+-+74+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+2n+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+16+=+n+-+74+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"+74+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+74+%2B+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+90+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
