fifty-three plus four times c is as much as 21
\n" ); document.write( "just write what it says
\n" ); document.write( "53 + 4c = 21
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 53 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4c = 21 - 53
\n" ); document.write( "4c = -32
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"%28-32%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = -8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this in the original equation, replace c with -8
\n" ); document.write( "53 - 4(-8) = 21
\n" ); document.write( "53 - 32 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "21 = 21; confirms our solution of c=-8
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
