\r
\n" );

document.write( "      5(x + 12) ≥ 3x + 94      undo parenthesis by distributive property
\n" );
document.write( "    5(x)+ 12(5) ≥ 3x + 94
\n" );
document.write( "        5x + 60 ≥ 3x + 94       since 5x is greater than 3x we are going to subtract 3x both sides
\n" );
document.write( "   5x - 3x + 60 ≥ 3x - 3x + 94
\n" );
document.write( "        2x + 60 ≥ 94           then subtract 6 both sides to separate the variable
\n" );
document.write( "   2x + 60 - 60 ≥ 94 - 60 
\n" );
document.write( "             2x ≥ 34         divide 2 both sides so that x will be left
