\"x-0.08x=117760\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.92x=117760\" Combine like terms on the left side\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%280.92%2F0.92%29x=117760%2F0.92\" Divide both sides by 0.92 to isolate x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=128000\" Divide\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the selling price is $128,000
\n" ); document.write( "
