\"+2x+%2B+13+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You want to get \"+x+\" alone on the left side and
\n" ); document.write( "what it is equal to on the right side.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "First, subtract \"+13+\" from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "( if you do something to one side, you must do the same
\n" ); document.write( "thing to the other side )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+13+-+13+=+3+-+13+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+-10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%282x%29%2F2+=+-10%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+-5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now check the answer by plugging it back into
\n" ); document.write( "the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+13+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A%28-5%29+%2B+13+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-10+%2B+13+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps
