You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9x - 2 = 4(x - 3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply what's inside the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 2 = 4x - 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 2 - 4x = -12
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 2 = -12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -12 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"-10%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution of x=-2 in the original problem
\n" ); document.write( "9(-2) - 2 = 4(-2 - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "-18 - 2 = 4(-5)
\n" ); document.write( "-20 = -20 equality reigns, confirms our solution \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
