$\"7%28x-1%29+=+28\"$ Solve for x. First apply the \"distibutive property\" to the let side to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x-7+=+28\"$ Now add 7 to both sides to isolate the x-term on the left.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x+=+35\"$ Finally divide both sides by 7 to get the x by itself.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5\"$ Now you know the value of x, you can find the value of 2x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+2%285%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+10\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
