This is the equation I came up with:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+%2B+6+=+72\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 more ~ adding 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "twice as many ~ 2x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "72 games total\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, get x by itself by subtracting the 6 from the left side to the right side of the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+72+-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+66\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To get x by itself completely, divide 2 on both sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2F2=66%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+33\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
