Thirteen less than 8 times a number is equal to eleven more than six times the number

\n" ); document.write( "Just write an equation for what it says, let x = \"a number\":
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 13 = 6x + 11
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 6x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 6x = 13 + 11
\n" ); document.write( "Add 13 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
