$\"%288%5E2%2B8x-2%29-%288x%5E2%2B5%29=6x%2B2\"$ Clear the parentheses on the left.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x%5E2%2B8x-2-8x%5E2-5=6x%2B2\"$ Combine like terms on the left.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x%5E2-8x%5E2%2B8x-2-5=6x%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0%2B8x-7=6x%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-7=6x%2B2\"$ Subtract 6x from both sides to get all your x's on the left.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-6x-7=6x-6x%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-7=0%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-7=2\"$ Add 7 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-7%2B7=2%2B7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B0=9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=9\"$ Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F2=9%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=9%2F2%29\"$
