x = first part
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 30 = second part {second part is 30 less than twice first}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x - 30 = 90 {the two parts add together to equal 90}
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 30 = 90 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 120 {added 30 to each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40 {divided each side by 3}
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 30 = 50 {substituted 40, in for x, into 2x - 30}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "40 and 50 are the two parts
\n" ); document.write( "
