solve for x: 3x + 13 = x + 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start by subtracting x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+%2B+13+=+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, subtract 13 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+-12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, your answer is \"-6\".
