Hi there, simple algebra skills are required remember change the side = change the sign..\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B1=21\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x = 21 - 1 (notice + becomes - and vice versa)
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 20 (simplified 21-1)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20/5 (notice * becomes / and vice versa)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 (simplified 20/5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There is your proof that 5x +1 = 21 gives x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
