The sum of half a number and 49 is 9/2 of the number
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute x for the words \"a number\" and \"the number\".\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The sum of half x and 49 is 9/2 of x
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute  for \"half x\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The sum of $\"expr%281%2F2%29x\"$ and 49 is 9/2 of x
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute  for the words \"9/2 of x\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The sum of $\"expr%281%2F2%29x\"$ and 49 is $\"expr%289%2F2%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute  for the words \"The sum of  and 49\"\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"expr%281%2F2%29x%2B49\"$ is $\"expr%289%2F2%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute an equal sign \" = \" for the word \"is\":\r\n" );
