i'm in pre-algebra and don't know how to figure this one out or what steps to take 3-2 0ver5x=6 -2+1 over 6 x=7 over4
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "3-[(2/5)x)] = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3 from both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(-2/5)x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -5/2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3(-5/2)
\n" ); document.write( "x = -15/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = -7 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2 + (1/6)x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 to both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/6)x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 54
