You can put this solution on YOUR website!
start with:
\n" ); document.write( "31 + 2x = 243
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 31 from both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "31 + 2x - 31 = 243 - 31
\n" ); document.write( "simplify by combining like terms to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 212
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2 = 212/2
\n" ); document.write( "simplify by performing the indicated operations to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 106.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "confirm by replacing x with 106 in your original equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "31 + 2x = 243 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "31 + 2*106 = 243 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "31 + 212 = 243 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "243 = 243 confirming the solution is good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
