(2+3)+5=7(3x-1)-5
\n" ); document.write( "5+5 =(21x-7)-5
\n" ); document.write( "10 =21x-7-5
\n" ); document.write( "10 = 21x-12
\n" ); document.write( "10+12 = 21x (grouping like terms and chnging sign while changing side)
\n" ); document.write( "22=21x
\n" ); document.write( "That is 21x= 22
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore x = 22/21 = 1 and (1/21)
\n" ); document.write( "Verification can be done orally:
\n" ); document.write( "RHS =7(3x-1)-5
\n" ); document.write( "= 7X[3X(22/21)-1]-5
\n" ); document.write( "=7X(22/7-1)-5
\n" ); document.write( "=[7X(22-7)/7] - 5
\n" ); document.write( "=7X(15)/7 -5
\n" ); document.write( "=15-5
\n" ); document.write( "=10
\n" ); document.write( "=RHS \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
