$\"-4%28x%2B6%29%2B6=2x-6%28x%2B7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4x-24%2B6=2x-6x-42\"$ Use the distributive property on both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4x-18=-4x=42\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4x%2B4x=42%2B18\"$ Variables on left constants on right.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=60\"$ Inconsistency. \r
