Well, you are right so far.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6-2x+=+16x%2B16\" Now you need to collect the x's onto one side of the equation by adding 2x to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6+=+18x%2B16\" Subtract 16 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-10+=+18x\" Finally, divide both sides by 18.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-10%2F18+=+x\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-5%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
