You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first you need to distribute the numbers like this:
\n" ); document.write( "3(5+4x)=9
\n" ); document.write( "3(5)+12x=9
\n" ); document.write( "15+12x=9
\n" ); document.write( "then subtract 15 from each sides
\n" ); document.write( "12x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "now divide each side by 12
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6/12
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1/2
\n" ); document.write( "~Christina~
