To find x, you must isolate it.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-40%2B9x=77\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First add 40 to both sides to cancel it out on the left.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=77%2B40\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=117\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide 9 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=13\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
