$\"%2820-x%29%2F3+=+x%2F2\"$ Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2820-x%29+=+3x%2F2\"$ Now multiply both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2820-x%29+=+3x\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40-2x+=+3x\"$ Add 2x to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40+=+5x\"$ Divide both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8+=+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+8\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
