You can put this solution on YOUR website!
have i done this right?
\n" ); document.write( " the equation is $\"-2%28x-3%29=3%28x-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+6 = 3x-21
\n" ); document.write( "6 = 5x-21
\n" ); document.write( "27 = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 27/5
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " -2x-5=3x-21 *** Not -2x-5
\n" ); document.write( " -3x -3x
\n" ); document.write( " -5x-5=-21
\n" ); document.write( " +5 +5
\n" ); document.write( " -5x=-27 **** You added 5 to -21, = -16 not -27
\n" ); document.write( " -5x\5=-27\5
\n" ); document.write( " x=-5.4 **** Both sides are - --> x = 5.4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
