$\"4x%2B5=3%28x-1%29\"$ <-- Distribute the $\"3\"$ on the right hand side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B5=3x-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x-3x%2B5=3x-3x-3\"$ <-- Subtract $\"3x\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B5=0-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B5=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B5-5=-3-5\"$ <-- Subtract $\"5\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B0=-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-8%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
