Okay, from your statment this is what I assume is going on:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%3C=%28x%2B2%29%2F5%3C=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, we need to solve for $\"x\"$ , first thing to do is get rid of the 5 in the denominator. We can do this by multiplying all parts of the equation by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2A2%3C=5%2A%28%28x%2B2%29%2F5%29%3C=5%2A5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This yields:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%3C=x%2B2%3C=25\"$ , since the 5 in the middle term canceled.
\n" ); document.write( "Next, move the 2 by subtracting it from all sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10-2%3C=x%2B2-2%3C=25-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This gives us the final answer:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%3C=x%3C=23\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Good luck! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
