document.write( "1.  Combine the like terms in each side. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        8x + 2 = 9x + 9.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Subtract 8x from both sides.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        2 = x + 9.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Subtract 9 from both sides.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        -7 = x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4.  So, x= -7 is the solution and is your answer.\r\n" );
