10-3(2-x)=x+8
\n" ); document.write( "10-(3)(2)-(3)(-x)=x+8 Distribute the 3 through the parenthesis.
\n" ); document.write( "10-6+3x=x+8
\n" ); document.write( "4+3x=x+8 Simplified
\n" ); document.write( "4+3x(-x)=x(-x)+8 Subtract x on both sides of the equation to get the variables together.
\n" ); document.write( "4+2x=8 Simplified
\n" ); document.write( "4(-4)+2x=8(-4) Subtract 4 from both sides to get x alone.
\n" ); document.write( "2x=4 Simplified
\n" ); document.write( "2x(/2)=4(/2) Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
