Let x be the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5(x+8)=30x-10
\n" ); document.write( "5x+40=30x-10
\n" ); document.write( "5x-30x=-10-40
\n" ); document.write( "-25x=-50
\n" ); document.write( "-25x/-25=-50/-25
\n" ); document.write( "x=2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So number is 2
