Starting with
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 5(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 5
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 5x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+10
\n" ); document.write( "If you meant this to be an equation (it needs to be set equal to something)
\n" ); document.write( "3x-5(x+2)=0 then,
\n" ); document.write( "-2x + 10 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = -10
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "If this was a simplification problem then -2x+10 is the answer
\n" ); document.write( "If this was a solve for x equation then x=5
