this is how you do this\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "17 - 3(x-2) = -7
\n" ); document.write( "17-3x+6=-7
\n" ); document.write( "23-3x=-7
\n" ); document.write( "23-23-3x=-23-7
\n" ); document.write( "-3x=-30
\n" ); document.write( "-3x/-3=-30/-3
\n" ); document.write( "+10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "17-3(x-2)=-7
\n" ); document.write( "17-3(10-2)=-7
\n" ); document.write( "17-30+6=-7
\n" ); document.write( "-13+6=-7
\n" ); document.write( "-7=-7
\n" ); document.write( "left side= right side
\n" ); document.write( "hence this is the right answer
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
