\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "smaller:: 2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "larger:: 2x+1
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "5(2x+1) = 8(2x-1)+1
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 5 = 16x - 8 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 5 = 16x - 7
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "smaller:: 2x-1 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "larger:: 2x+1 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
