Original equation: \"4x%2B5=7x-10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a linear equation where our goal is to get 'x' by itself.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1: Add '10' to both sides so we don't have to deal with negatives\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B5=7x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B15=7x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Subtract '4x' to both sides so we don't have to deal with negatives\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2B15=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15=3x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3: Divide both sides by '3' to get 'x' by itself\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"15=3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is \"5=x\" or \"x=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
