You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"2x-3=5\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=5%2B3\"$ Add $\"3\"$ to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=8\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%288%29%2F%282%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"2\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
