\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"If 6 is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 2 more than six times the number\" translates to the following equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+-+6+=+6x%2B2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+-+6+=+6x%2B2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+=+6x%2B2+%2B+6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+=+6x%2B8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-6x+=+8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-x+=+8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the number is -8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
