document.write( "Subtract 5 from each compound of the inequality. You will get an equivalent compound inequality\r\n" );

document.write( "-7 - 5 < (3x + 5) -5 < 11 - 5,    or, which is the same\r\n" );

document.write( "  - 12 < 3x < 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now divide each compound of the inequality by positive 3. You will get \r\n" );
