\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. \"%285x-1%29%2F8=3\"..................... Given
\n" ); document.write( "2. \"5x-1=24\"..................... both sides of (1) multiply by \"8\"
\n" ); document.write( "3. \"5x-1%2B1=24%2B1\"..................... Addition of 1 to equation (2)
\n" ); document.write( "4. \"5x%2B0=24%2B1\"..................... Substitution of \"-1+%2B+1+=+0\" into (3)
\n" ); document.write( "5. \"5x=25\"..................... Substitution of \"5x+%2B+0+=+5x\" and 24+1=25 into (4)
\n" ); document.write( "6. \"5x=25\" ..................... Dividing equation (5) by \"5\"
\n" ); document.write( "7. \"x=5\".....................Substitution of \"25%2F5+=+5\" into (6)
