Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-7+=+3x-%288-6x%29\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-7+=+3x-8%2B6x\" Collect like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-7+=+9x-8\" Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-7+=+8x-8\" Add 8 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+=+8x\" Divide both sides by 8.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F8+=+x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: \"x+=+1%2F8\"
