You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Should this read 3+[2x-9]-20=0 ??
\n" ); document.write( "If so you are looking for value of x.First add up terms to give:
\n" ); document.write( "2x-26=0 Add 26 to both sides which gives:
\n" ); document.write( "2x=26 Now divide both sides by 2 to give:
\n" ); document.write( "x=13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you just have to simplify 3+[2x-9]-20 add terms to gve:
\n" ); document.write( "2x-26 or take out factor 2 which would be:
\n" ); document.write( "2(x-13).
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps
