2x+(x-24)=90 what does x equal?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2Bx-24=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2B1%29x-24=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-24=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-24%2B24=90%2B24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2F3=114%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=38%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check by substituting x=38 into the original equation and simplifying to see if both sides of the equation equal:
\n" ); document.write( "2(38)+(38-24)=90
\n" ); document.write( "76+14=90
\n" ); document.write( "90=90 We're right!!!
