You can put this solution on YOUR website!
With equations, you need to get x on one side and the number on the other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation (a)
\n" ); document.write( "4x+6=30
\n" ); document.write( "First you would subtract 6 form both sides
\n" ); document.write( "Then you would divide both sides by four which will give you with the answer for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (a)
\n" ); document.write( " 4x+6=30
\n" ); document.write( " -6 -6
\n" ); document.write( " 4x=24
\n" ); document.write( " 4x/4=24/4
\n" ); document.write( " x=6
\n" ); document.write( "Equations (b)
\n" ); document.write( "5(x-4)=3x+10
\n" ); document.write( "With this equation you need to get rid of the parenthesis first. You do that by multiplying.
\n" ); document.write( "Then you need to get all the x's on one side and the numbers on the other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (b)
\n" ); document.write( " 5(x-4)=3x+10
\n" ); document.write( " 5x-20=3x+10
\n" ); document.write( " +20 +20
\n" ); document.write( " 5x =3x+30
\n" ); document.write( " -3x -3x
\n" ); document.write( " 2x=30
\n" ); document.write( " 2x/2=30/2
\n" ); document.write( " x=15
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
