Solving,
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x-3%3E=2x%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x%3E=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3E=8%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Negative solution:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%287x-3%29%3E=2x%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x-3%3C=-2x-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x%3C=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3C=-2%2F9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
