Since 2x and 6x are like terms, add 6x to 2x to get 8x \n" ); document.write( "8x+45=0 \n" ); document.write( "Since 45 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right hand side of the equation by subtracting 45 from both sides. \n" ); document.write( "8x=-45 \n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 8. \n" ); document.write( "8x/8=-45/8 \n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors. \n" ); document.write( "x= -45/8 \n" ); document.write( " |
