\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x%2B2-2x=4x-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Move all the x terms to one side and the numbers to the other:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x-2x-4x=-2-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -1 to change the signs:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$ , which is our answer. \n" ); document.write( "
