2x-6=3(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-6=3(x)+3(-1)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-6=3x-3
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+2x-6=-3x+3x-3
\n" ); document.write( "-x-6=-3
\n" ); document.write( "-x-6+6=-3+6
\n" ); document.write( "-x=3
\n" ); document.write( "-x/-1=3/-1
\n" ); document.write( "x=-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check, substitute answer back into the equation to see if it's true:
\n" ); document.write( "2(-3)-6=3(-3-1)
\n" ); document.write( "-6-6=3(-4)
\n" ); document.write( "-12=-12 True
