-5x-2+3x=5x+10
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-2=5x+10 <--add 2x to both sies
\n" ); document.write( "(-2x-2)+2x=(5x+10)+2x
\n" ); document.write( "-2=7x+10 <--subtract 10 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-2-10=(7x+10)-10
\n" ); document.write( "-12=7x <--divide both sides by 7
\n" ); document.write( "\"-12%2F7\"=\"7x%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=\"-12%2F7\", or -1\"5%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "
