Let $\"+x+\"$ = the unknown number
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+10+=+8x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+x+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-10+=+7x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-10%2F7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
