2x+8=x
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x+8=x-x [isolate the x]
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=0
\n" ); document.write( "x+8-8=-8
\n" ); document.write( "x=-8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check by plugging x=-8 back into the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "2x+8=x
\n" ); document.write( "2(-8)+8=(-8)
\n" ); document.write( "-16-8=-8
\n" ); document.write( "-8=-8 [checks out] \n" ); document.write( "
