i have the following equation where i have to find \r\n" );
document.write( "the value of x, and h & c are the same value\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   hx - 4 = cx/3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "so far i did: multiplied the whole equation by 3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3(hx - 4) = cx\r\n" );
document.write( " 3hx - 12 = cx\r\n" );
document.write( "      3hx = cx + 12\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You are correct to here. But you are not ready to\r\n" );
document.write( "divide yet!  You must first get all terms that \r\n" );
document.write( "contain x on the left side of the equation and all\r\n" );
document.write( "other terms on the right.  So \r\n" );
document.write( "subtract cx from both sides:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " 3hx - cx = 12\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Factor out x:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x(3h - c) = 12\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now you are ready to divide both sides by\r\n" );
document.write( "(3h - c)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        x = 12/(3h - c)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
