$\"+2%286x-1%29%2B2%282x%2B5%29=120+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Begin by dividing both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286x-1%29%2B%282x%2B5%29=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Remove parentheses:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6x-1%2B2x%2B5=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like-terms on the left:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8x%2B4=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8x=+56+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 8:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
