You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "You have the correct answer. As a way to check the answer, you can plug in the value of x and simplify both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+38=2.5x+45.5
\n" ); document.write( "4*(x)+38=2.5*(x)+45.5
\n" ); document.write( "4*(5)+38=2.5*(5)+45.5 replace every x with 5
\n" ); document.write( "20+38=12.5+45.5
\n" ); document.write( "58=58\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Because we get the same result on both sides, this confirms the answer.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
