4(3x+5)=(1)/(256)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "(4(3x+5))/(4)=(1)/(256)*(1)/(4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
\n" ); document.write( "3x+5=(1)/(256)*(1)/(4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
\n" ); document.write( "3x+5=(1)/(1024)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 5 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 5 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-5+(1)/(1024)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-(5119)/(1024)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "(3x)/(3)=-(5119)/(1024)*(1)/(3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
\n" ); document.write( "x=-(5119)/(1024)*(1)/(3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
\n" ); document.write( "x=-(5119)/(3072) \n" ); document.write( "
