$\"4%2A%282x%2B5%29=52\"$ This is the original problem.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x%2B20=52\"$ I multiplied 4 into the 2x and then into the 5 to get 8x & 20.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x=52-20\"$ Then i moved the twenty over with the 52; making it -20
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x=32\"$ This is simple subtraction 52-20= 32
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=32%2F8\"$ Then the 8 & x are multiplied so i had to divide 32 by 8 to move it
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$ Thus the answer is 4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
