#14. Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15+=+-3%282q-1%29\"$ First, divide both sides of the equation by -3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15%2F%28-3%29+=+%28-3%2F-3%29%282q-1%29\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5+=+2q-1\"$ Add 1 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%2B1+=+2q-1%2B1\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4+=+2q\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-4%29%2F2+=+q\"$ Simplify and put the variable (q) on the left side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28q+=+-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "#22. Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-5%2F8+=+7%2F8\"$ Add 5/8 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+7%2F8+%2B+5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+13%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+1.625%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
