You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First isolate x in 2x/3 = 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x/3 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 18*3
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 54
\n" ); document.write( "x = 54/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 27\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now use this to compute 2x-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x-5 = 2(27)-5 = 54-5 = 49\r
\n" ); document.write( "
