You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6x - 7 = 2x + 29
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We want to perform operations on both sides of the equation to get the variable
\n" ); document.write( "(x) on one side by itself, usually the left side
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Add 7 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 7 + 7 = 2x + 29 + 7
\n" ); document.write( "so we have
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 2x + 36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 36
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284x%29%2F4\"$ = $\"36%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm your answer by replacing x with 9 in the original problem
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 7 = 2x + 29
\n" ); document.write( "6(9) - 7 = 2(9) + 29
\n" ); document.write( "54 - 7 = 18 + 29
\n" ); document.write( "47 = 47; confirms our solution \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
