Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28-3x%2B12%29-9x+=+-8%287x-9%29%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6x%2B24-9x+=+-56x%2B72%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-15x%2B24+=+-56x%2B77\"$ Add 56x to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"41x%2B24+=+77\"$ Subtract 24 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"41x+=+53\"$ Divide both sides by 41.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+1.29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
