\n" ); document.write( "Just looking for an example close to this.
\n" ); document.write( "I got as far as...
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 8 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "then do I subtract 2x from each side or 8? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "GOOD WORK, SO FAR!!!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "NOW YOU SUBTRACT 2x FROM BOTH SIDES:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x-2x + 8 = 3x-2x Now we can collect like term (x's and numbers)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "+8=x or
\n" ); document.write( "x=8----------------------ans\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When solving an equation you generally want to get the unknowns on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other. This may require adding and/or subtracting both unknowns and numbers. Example:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+8=3x-4 you can subtract an 8 and a 3x from both sides or you can subtract a 2x from and add a 4 to both sides------Try both ways and see if you get the same answer. \r
