the goal is to get all numbers on one side and all letters (x in this case ) on the other.
\n" ); document.write( "We do that by adding to both sides or subtracting from both sides or dividing both sides or multiplying both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "but first we combine terms on each side.
\n" ); document.write( "so we combine terms on the right side
\n" ); document.write( "5x-9x=-4x
\n" ); document.write( "so now we have
\n" ); document.write( "6-2x=-4x+10
\n" ); document.write( "we want all numbers on the right and all letters on the left
\n" ); document.write( "so what do we do to remove numbers from the left
\n" ); document.write( "we subtract 6 because 6-6=0
\n" ); document.write( "so -2x=-4x+4
\n" ); document.write( "we want x on the left so we add 4x to both sides because -4x+4x=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x=4
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "now we check
\n" ); document.write( "if the number on the right equals the number on the left then x does = 2
\n" ); document.write( "6-2x=5x-9x+10
\n" ); document.write( "6-2(2)=5*2-9*2+10
\n" ); document.write( "6-4=10-18+10
\n" ); document.write( "2=20-18
\n" ); document.write( "2=2
\n" ); document.write( "ok
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
