$\"3%2B11=5%2Bx\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"14=5%2Bx\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"14-5=x\"$ Subtract 5 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"9=x\"$ Combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is $\"x=9\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
