$\"3x+-+8+=highlight%2813+%288+-+x+%29%29\"$ distribute the 13
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+-+8+=+104+-+13x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%283x%2B13x%29+-+8+=+104%2B+highlight%28-13x%2B13x%29\"$ add 13x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16x-8=104\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16x+%2B+highlight%28-8%2B8%29=highlight%28104%2B8%29\"$ add 8 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16x=112\"$ divide by 16
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=7%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
