12x -(4x+10)=54
\n" ); document.write( "mutilpy (4x + 10) by -1:
\n" ); document.write( "12x - 4x - 10 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 10 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "Add each side by 10:
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 10 = 54
\n" ); document.write( " +10 +10
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 64
\n" ); document.write( "Divde by 8 on each side:
\n" ); document.write( "8x/8 = 64/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=8 \n" ); document.write( "
