$\"5%28x-2%29=3x%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x-10=3x%2B8\"$ (Distribute)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x-10-3x=3x%2B8-3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x-3x-10=3x-3x%2B8\"$ combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-10=cross%283x%29-cross%283x%29%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-10=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 10 both sides
