1. \"+x-10+=+1x%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "add 10 tp both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+1x%2F2+%2B+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 1/2 x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1x%2F2+=+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "He is currently 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. \"+x%2B8+=+%284%2F3%29%28x-6%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+8+=+%284x-24%29%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+%2B+24+=+4x+-+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "add 24 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3x+%2B+48+=+4x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+48+=+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "He is currently 48
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
