You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"5x%2B14=26\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=26-14\"$ Subtract $\"14\"$ from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=12\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%2812%29%2F%285%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"5\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is $\"x=12%2F5\"$ which in decimal form is $\"x+=+2.40\"$ \r
