2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
\n" ); document.write( "this is how i did it.
\n" ); document.write( "- 3( 2x/3=-2x+10 - 5/6
\n" ); document.write( " - 2x=-6x+30+10
\n" ); document.write( " - 8x=40
\n" ); document.write( " so.. x= 5?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "See if 5 works:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
\n" ); document.write( "10/3 =? -2*(0) - 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "10/3 =? -5/6 NG
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "From above:
\n" ); document.write( "- 3( 2x/3=-2x+10 - 5/6
\n" ); document.write( " - 2x=-6x+30+10 ******** -3*(-5/6) <> 10
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 6
\n" ); document.write( "6*(2x/3) = 6*(-2x+10) - 5
\n" ); document.write( "4x = -12x + 60 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "16x = 55
\n" ); document.write( "x = 55/16 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
