\n" ); document.write( "The given information tells you that the value of y in the given equation is 1 for some value of x; you are to determine that value of x.

\n" ); document.write( "To do that, set y=1 in the given equation and solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "1 = x+5

\n" ); document.write( "Use basic algebra to solve for x.

\n" ); document.write( "Or, if you haven't yet started learning algebra, then just ask yourself \"what number do I add 5 to to get a result of 1?\"
