The distance on the number line from 5 to 12 is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12-5=7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so the equation is $\"3x-2=7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-2=7\"$ --> $\"3x-2%2B2=7%2B2\"$ --> $\"3x=9\"$ --> $\"3x%2F3=9%2F3\"$ --> $\"highlight%28x=3%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
