Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "1) \"6%283x-1%29-10x+=+7\" Do I have this right? or is it:
\n" ); document.write( "2) \"6%283x-1%29-10x\" for x = 7?
\n" ); document.write( "Well, let's do them both and you pick whichever one is right!
\n" ); document.write( "1) Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%283x-1%29-10x+=+7\" Apply the distributive property.
\n" ); document.write( "\"18x-6-10x+=+7\" Combine the x's
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-6+=+7\" Add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x+=+13\" Finally, divide both sides by 8.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+13%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1.625\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) Evaluate:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%283x-1%29-10x\" for x = 7 Simplify then substitute a 7 everywhere there is an x in the expression.
\n" ); document.write( "\"18x-6-10x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-6\" x = 7, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%287%29-6+=+56-6\" = 50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
