You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first, collect like terms [x+4x]= 5x, so your equation becomes
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B8=28\"
\n" ); document.write( "then use inverse operations to get the constants on one side and the variable on the other...
\n" ); document.write( "5x+8-8=28-8 becomes 5x=20 and 5x/5=20/5 which becomes \"x=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
