You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"+-5%28x-4%29+=+20+-+5x+\"$ <----- Begin\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5x+%2B+20+=+20+-+5x+\"$ <----- Distribute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5x+=+-5x+\"$ <----- Subtract 20 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+x+\"$ <----- Divide by -5 on both sides. The result x = x tells you that x can be ANY number you want. So your solution would be the set of all real numbers. \n" ); document.write( "
