\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B4=x-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combine similar terms. Remember to change sign when you move to the left or to the right: \"3x-x=-5-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Isolate \"x\" by dividing 2 on both sides: \"cross%282%29x%2Fcross%282%29=-9%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-9%2F2\", Answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Chek by substituting to the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28red%28-9%2F2%29%29%2B4=red%28-9%2F2%29-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-27%2F2%2B4=-9%2F2-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get Least Common Denominator to do the operations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-27%2B8%29%2F2=%28-9-10%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-19%2F2=-19%2F2\", good\r
