$\"-2m+=+6m+-+9\"$ ---------------> eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6s+-+11+=+-2s+%2B+5\"$ -------------> eqn 2
\n" ); document.write( " In eqn 1:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9=6m%2B2m\"$ , combine similar terms and change sign \"+\" or \"-\" if needed
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9=8m\"$ --> $\"9%2F8=cross%288%29m%2Fcross%288%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=9%2F8\"$ , ANSWER
\n" ); document.write( "In eqn 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6s%2B2s=5%2B11\"$ , combine terms like in eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8s=16\"$ --> $\"cross%288%29s%2Fcross%288%29=cross%2816%292%2Fcross%288%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s=2\"$ , ANSWER
