\n" ); document.write( "Let  x  be the unknown number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then the equation is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 5*(x+2) = 4x + 26.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 5x + 10 = 4x + 26.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x - 4x = 26 - 10,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x = 16,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = \"16%2F2\" = 8.\r
