Steve makes x dollars an hour, so Peter makes (x+2) dollars an hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7(x + 2) = 5x + 26
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 14 = 5x + 26
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Steve makes $6 an hour and Peter makes $8 an hour.
