We need to simplify and take everything to the first term:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5-3x=-11\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5-3x%2B11=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16-3x=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x%2B16=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now have an equation of the form ax+b=0, with a = -3 and b = 16. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
