\"0.1%28x%2B10%29=0.3x-4\"distribute the .1
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1x%2B1.0=0.3x-4\" subtract the .1x
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.0=0.2x-4\" add 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=0.2x\" divide by .2
\n" ); document.write( "\"25=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "checking
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1%28x%2B10%29=0.3x-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1%2825%2B10%29=0.3%2825%29-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1%2835%29=7.5-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.5=3.5\"
