3(x-5)/2 = 2(x+5)/3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( "9(x-5) = 4(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute:
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 45 = 4x + 20
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 45 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Add 45 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 65
\n" ); document.write( "Finally divide both sides by 5:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13 \n" ); document.write( "
