x = the number

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+%2B+%28x%2F2%29+=+x+%2B+1+\"$ --->> $\"+highlight%28+x+=+2+%29+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Showing the steps:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+%2B+%28x%2F2%29+=+x+%2B+1+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x/2 from each side:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+=+x%2F2+%2B+1+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 from each side:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1+=+x%2F2+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+=+x+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "... which may also be written $\"+x+=+2+\"$
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Check:  2 + (2/2) = 2 + 1 = 3    <<< 2 + (1/2)*number
\n" );
document.write( "         and 2 + 1 = 3  (ok)     <<<  the number + 1 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
