A basic question, but I can't seem to get it based on mathematica's 
instructions for writing "inline text".  I'm trying to type text and formula 
in the same line, but it doesn't come out right, please help, see below:

In[2]:=
\!\(\*
RowBox[{
RowBox[{This is text, then formula: , " ", "a"}], "+",
RowBox[{
"b", " ",
and text again, but after shift-enter, it loses order, why?}]}]\)

I get errors after executing above.  I just wanna be able to write text and 
formula in same paragraph, then execute and get the text in order originally 
typed along with executed formula like below:

Example scenario:

Input: We know a=5, and b=2, then we know sum of two is: a+b

Output: We know a=5, and b=2, then we know sum of two is: 7

that simple, but can't get it to work.
