\r\n" );
document.write( "1)  In the left side, combine like terms with x:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2x - 2x + 7x = 7x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2)  In the left side, combine constant terms\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    -2 + 18 - 27 = -11.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3)  Thus your equation takes the form \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    7x - 11 = 24.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4)  Add 11 to both sides. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    7x = 24 + 11 = 35.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5)  The last step is to divide both sides by 7. When you do it, you will get the solution\r\n" );
document.write( " \r\n" );
document.write( "    x = 35/7 = 5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  x= 5.\r\n" );
