Just write what it says:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of eight times a number and 5 is less than 7 times the number.
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 5 < 7x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 7x + 5 < 0; subtract 7x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x < -5; subtracted 5 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
