Let x=reg wage
\n" ); document.write( "ot wage is x+3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+4(x+3)=66
\n" ); document.write( "5x+4x+12=66
\n" ); document.write( "Combine terms
\n" ); document.write( "9x+12=66
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "9x=54
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides of the equation by 9
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( "ot=6=3=9
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "(5x6)+4(6+3)=30+36=66
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
