\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x - 5 + 9x = 17x - 5 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We need to prove that left hand side is equal to right hand side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This can be written by adding the like terms. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First grouping them and then adding, we get: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x + 9x - 5 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adding the like terms, we get: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "17x - 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the required answer. \r
