Express x in terms of a and b.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ax-5.6+=+bx%2B12.1\"$ Add 5.6 to both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ax+=+bx%2B17.7\"$ Now subtract bx from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ax-bx+=+17.7\"$ Factor out the x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28a-b%29+=+17.7\"$ Finally, divide both sides by (a-b)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+17.7%2F%28a-b%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
