Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x%29%2F5%2B7+=+42\"$ Subtract 7 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x%29%2F5+=+35\"$ Multiply both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28x%29+=+175\"$ Remove the absolute-value bars.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+175\"$ or $\"x+=+-175\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
