You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x-(3x+5) = 25 what does X=
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Remember if there is a negative outside the brackets, you change the signs of the
\n" ); document.write( "terms inside the brackets, the brackets are removed.
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 3x - 5 = 25
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "add 5 to both sides, do the math on the x's
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 25 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 30
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "1x = \"30%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Now check the solution of x=6 in the original problem
\n" ); document.write( "8x - (3x + 5)= 25
\n" ); document.write( "replace x with 6
\n" ); document.write( "8(6) - (3(6) + 5) = 25
\n" ); document.write( "48 - (18 + 5) = 25
\n" ); document.write( "48 - 23 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "25 = 25; confirms our solution of x=6 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
