\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28x%2F5%29+-+5%284%29+=+-6%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x - 20 = -30
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate x by adding 20 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x = -30 + 20
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x+=+-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "-10/5 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-2 - 4 = -6
