5X - 20 = 10 * X
\n" ); document.write( "5X - 20 = 10X
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5x from each side
\n" ); document.write( "-20 = 5X
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 5
\n" ); document.write( "-4 = X
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let's make sure it works...
\n" ); document.write( "20 less than five times a number (-20-20) is equal to the product of ten and that number (10 * -4)
\n" ); document.write( "-40 = -40
\n" ); document.write( "success!
