Solve each equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. 3x + 5 - 6x = 3 - x
\n" ); document.write( "(3-6)x+5=3-x
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+5=3-x
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+3x+5=3-x+3x
\n" ); document.write( "5=3+2x
\n" ); document.write( "5-3=3-3+2x
\n" ); document.write( "2=2x
\n" ); document.write( "2/2=2x/2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%281=x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check by substituting 1 in for x and seeing if the sides of the equation equal.
\n" ); document.write( "3(1)+5-6(1)=3-(1)
\n" ); document.write( "3+5-6=3-1
\n" ); document.write( "2=2 we're right!!!
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. 3 - (1/5)(x) = 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3-3-%281%2F5%29x=2-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-1%2F5%29x=-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%2A%28-1%2F5%29x=-5%28-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3-%281%2F5%29%285%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3-5%2F5=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3-1=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2=2 we're right!!!
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3. x - .2x = 6.4
\n" ); document.write( "Clear the decimals by multiplying everything by 10.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x-10%28.2x%29=10%286.4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x-2x=64\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x=64\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x%2F8=64%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "8-.2(8)=6.4
\n" ); document.write( "8-1.6=6.4
\n" ); document.write( "6.4=6.4 we're right again.
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( "
