You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first multiply the 36x-6 by 2/3 to clear the parentheses:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3%2A36x=24x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3%2A-6=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so now the equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "24x-4=68
\n" ); document.write( "add 4 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "24x=72
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 24
\n" ); document.write( "x=3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
