Given: $\"6%2A%283X+%2B+4%29+-+2+=+2%2A%28X+-+5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Start by multiplying through
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2A3X+%2B+6%2A4+-+2+=+2%2AX+-+2%2A5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18X+%2B+24+-+2+=+2X+-+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18X+%2B+22+=+2X+-+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2X from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16X+%2B+22+=+-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 22 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16X+=+-32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 16
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28X+=+-2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
