Question 102375: Pre-Algebra Chapter 3 Resource Book Lesson 3.3 Practice B (Don't know if this will help)
Tell whether the given value of the variable is a solution of the equation.
question 2:
4x + 13 = -9 -3(x+9); x = -7
4(-7) + 13 = -9 -3 (-7 + 9)
-28 + 13 = -9 + 21 -27
12 = -15

x does not equal -7

You did everything right up until this step

12=15

Let's go back to the previous step

Now add -28 and 13 to get -15 (not 12)

Now add -9, 21, and -27 to get -15

So this means x=-7 is a solution
