This would be our equation: $\"1%2B%2818-7x%29=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now let's solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"19-7x=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-7x=-9-19\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-7x=-28\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-28%2F-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2B%2818-7x%29=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2B18-%287%2A4%29=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"19-28=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-9=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
