Given: $\"y+=+3x%2B2\"$ solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+3x%2B2\"$ Subtract 2 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-2+=+3x\"$ Divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F3%29%28y-2%29+=+x\"$ or $\"x+=+%281%2F3%29%28y-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Another example:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+5x-6\"$ Add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B6+=+5x\"$ Divide both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F5%29%28y%2B6%29+=+x\"$ or $\"x+=+%281%2F5%29%28y%2B6%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
