Hello,

I need help in getting my 2nd part of my sentence to indent like the rest of the sentence or i guess wrap around. What do i need to do for that to happen. I want the "me 3" to be under the "I still am going".

The same for the word subtraction.

Here is a screenshot on what is looks like when on the website.

I am trying to attach a photo but its not letting me. It is saying that this file type is forbidden. Can you tell me which type is allowed so i can show a screenshot.

Here is my code.

<p style="text-indent: 40px"> <strong>192-3(3):</strong> I still am doing <strong>step 3</strong> and doing all <strong>multiplication and division</strong> as it appears from left to right and the next multiplication or division was 6(/)2 which gives me 3.</p>

Thanks for your help.

There are a lot of ways this could be done with css, but what you're presenting is basically tabular data.

I would just use a two-column, multi-row table. Place the bold 192's in the left cells and right align them. Then place the remaining text in the right cells, left aligned. Set your cell-widths with css to ensure they're relatively fluid so it doesn't get too weird looking on small screens and you should be good to go.

192-6(/)2(3): I am doing step 3 and I need to do all multiplication and division as it appears from left to right. I multiplied 3(64) and got 192.

192-3(3): I still am doing step 3 and doing all multiplication and division as it appears from left to right and the next multiplication or division was 6(/)2 which gives me 3.

192-9: I still am doing all multiplication and division from left to right so now I went to step 4 and did all addition and subtraction from left to right. We had thesubtraction problem 192-9 which gives us 183 for the answer.

I provided my code. Once the sentence hits the 2nd line, i need it to indent and go under the "I still am" . Its not doing that. What do i need to enter to have it wrap around.

There are also CSS ways to convert a table to a cross-tab. Works best, of course with proper markup and concise headers:
