\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "First step add 5x to both sides.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    3x + 5x + 1 = -5x + 5x + 5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next, combine like terms.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    8x + 1 = 5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Third step subtract 1 from both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    8x + 1 - 1 = 5 - 1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next, combine like terms.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    8x         = 4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Fifth step is to divide both sides by 8.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x          = \"4%2F8\" = \"1%2F2\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  x = \"1%2F2\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.  Left side of the original equation is  \"3%2A%281%2F2%29+%2B+1\" = \"3%2F2%2B1\" = \"5%2F2\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        Right side of the original equation is  \"-5%2A%281%2F2%29+%2B+5\" = \"%28-5%29%2F2+%2B+10%2F2\" = \"5%2F2\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        Both sides are equal --- hence, the solution is correct (!)\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you want to learn on how to solve simple and simplest linear equations,  read the lesson\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "    - HOW TO solve a linear equation\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==============\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you solve similar equations, your first task is to collect all the terms with \" x \" on one side of the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and collect all constant terms on the other side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The last step is to divide the equation (both sides) by the coefficient at x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "            You get then the expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "                 x = some number (constant)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "            and this number is your answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you combine the terms with  \" x \"  on one side,  you transfer/move the terms from the other side
\n" ); document.write( "replacing their sign by the opposite sign.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is the major secret  (technology/strategy)  of the solution.\r
