document.write( "You start with this inequality\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2x - 2 <= 7 - x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Add x to both sides and combine like terms.  You will get then\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x - 2 <= 7.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now add 2 to both sides and combine like terms.   You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x <= 9\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Finally, divide both sides by 3. You will get the answer\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x <= 3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now you decide if 4 is the solution to the given inequality.\r\n" );
