First simplify each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-6-10=5x-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-16=5x-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "Move knowns to one side, unknowns on the other.
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"5x\" from both sides,
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-5x-16=5x-5x-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x-16=0-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x-16=-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add \"16\" to both sides,
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x-16%2B16=-20%2B16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x%2B0=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2x%29%2F-2=-4%2F-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2%2F-2%29x=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%29x=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
