You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(x-3) = 5x +4
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 6 = 5x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5x + 4 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 5x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "-3x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -3
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x+=+-10%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "If you have 2x = 5x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 2x = 5x + 10 - 2x
\n" ); document.write( "you get
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 3x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 10 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-10 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x = -10/3
