\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "what is $\"x\"$ in $\"-5%281%2B2n%29=15\"$ ...here you have variable $\"n\"$ , not $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can solve for $\"n\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%281%2B2n%29=15\"$ .....first multiply by $\"-5\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5-10n=15\"$ ......add $\"10n\"$ to both sides\r
