Put y by itself on the left, everything else on the right.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B18y=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"2x\" from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-2x%2B18y=36-2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18y=36-2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2818y%29%2F18=36%2F18-%282x%29%2F18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2-x%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Re-arrange so that x is the leading term,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-x%2F9%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
