You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(x-3) = x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "multiply what is inside the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 6 = x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from both sides; add 6 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x - x - 6 + 6 = x - x -3 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = +3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the original problem, replace x with -3
\n" ); document.write( "2(3-3) = 3 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 0; confirms our solution of x=3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
