let the number equal x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Product (multiply)
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x=2x%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now just solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Minus 2x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x-2x=2x-2x%2B5\"=\"4x=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%2F4=5%2F4\"=\"x=5%2F4\" or 1.25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 1.25 in for x and simplfy\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2A1.25%29=2%2A1.25%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplfy the multiplication
\n" ); document.write( "\"7.50=2.5%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplfy the addition
\n" ); document.write( "\"7.50=7.50\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
