document.write( "--Some teachers like to teach this different ways, but here is the way that I learned it. I was taught that on these types of problems, you want to get the variable (x) alone.

document.write( "1.) Add 5 to each side.
\n" );
document.write( " x-5+5= 10 + 5

\n" );
document.write( "2.) The two fives would cancel out, because they add up to zero.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "3.) On the right side of the equation, all you have left is x. On the left side once you solve (10 + 5), which is 15, you have x=15.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "4.) The solution would be x=15.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "5.) To check your work you can go back and add 10 + 5. As you can see, 10 + 5 is 15, so the solution is correct.
