And I   have two more problems and that's it.The next one is solve the equation for x, 6x minus 18=4x+8 and I don't know where to begin.And the last one is solve the equation for n,-55 minus 4n=13,there is another problem that I don't know where to begin can you please help me, thank you very much. </SPAN>\n" );
