3 ( 3x – 1) = 3x – 2 ( 3 – x )
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute:
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 3 = 3x - 6 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 3 = 5x - 6
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5x from both sides to get the x's all on the same side:
\n" ); document.write( "x - 3 = -6
\n" ); document.write( "Lastly, add 3 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
