$\"+-6%28+2x+%2B+3+%29=-24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+-6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+3+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"3\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
