we are working on a problem that is x over 5 plus 6 equals 21 and we are stuck,
\n" ); document.write( " can you assist?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F5\" + 6 = 21
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 5 and get rid of the denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%29x%2F5\" + 5(6) = 5(21)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you then have:
\n" ); document.write( " x + 30 = 105
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 30 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 30 - 30 = 105 - 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution; substitute 75 for x in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"75%2F5\" + 6 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "15 + 6 = 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
