2(x+3)-5=x+7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First remove the brackets using distributive property
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2(3)-5 = x+7
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6-5=x+7
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1=x+7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now subtract x on both the sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1-x= x+7-x
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 on both the sides
\n" ); document.write( "x+1-1=7-1
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
