\"2%284w+%2B+8%29+%96+2w+%2B+42+%3E+78\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first step: multiply \"%284w+%2B+8%29\" by \"2\" and apply \"Distributive\" property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8w%2B16-2w%2B42%3E78\"....group alike terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%288w-2w%29%2B%2816%2B42%29%3E78\"...subtract first group and add second group\r
