To solve this problem, you want to get x by itself on one side of the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "First, subtract 6 from each side of the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "-2x +6=-5
\n" ); document.write( "-2x + 6 - 6 = -5 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = -11
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide each side by -2 to get x by itself:
\n" ); document.write( "(-2x)/-2 = -11/-2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5.5
\n" ); document.write( "So your answer is x = 5.5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
