MOVE ALL TERMS WITH X TO THE LEFT
\n" ); document.write( " ADD
\n" ); document.write( "-5X TO EACH SIDE OF THE EQUATION
\n" ); document.write( "500+-5X=245+5X+-5X
\n" ); document.write( "COMBINE LIKE TERMS
\n" ); document.write( "5X+-5X=0
\n" ); document.write( "500+-5X=245+0
\n" ); document.write( "500+-5X=245
\n" ); document.write( "ADD-500 TO EACH SIDE OF EQUATION
\n" ); document.write( "500+-500+-5X=245+-500
\n" ); document.write( "COMBINE LIKE TERMS500+-500=0
\n" ); document.write( "0+-5X=245+-500
\n" ); document.write( "-5X=245+-500
\n" ); document.write( "COMBINE LIKE TERMS
\n" ); document.write( "245+-500=-255
\n" ); document.write( "-5X=-255
\n" ); document.write( "DIVIDE EACH SIDE BY -5
\n" ); document.write( "X=51 \n" ); document.write( "
