-2x+8=104+6x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "ok, try something different
\n" ); document.write( "get everything on one side.
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+8=104+6x
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract what's on the right from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+8 -(104+6x) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by the -1 (the minus sign)
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+8 -104-6x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "add the x's, and the numbers:
\n" ); document.write( "-8x - 96 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now get an x on one side by itself.
\n" ); document.write( "-8x - 96 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of the 96 by adding 96 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-8x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 96/-8
\n" ); document.write( "x = -12
\n" ); document.write( "Done\r
\n" ); document.write( "
