You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find the original value on the gift card we will use the equation \"x-6=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "Before we do anything though, we will write a let statement,
\n" ); document.write( "Let x= original value of the gift card\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, we solve.
\n" ); document.write( "So add 6 to both sides (if you do something to one side, you must do it to the other) \"x-6%2B6=14%2B6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you get \"x=20\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
