5x+28=-3(x-4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+28= -3x +3*4
\n" ); document.write( "5x+28= -3x +12
\n" ); document.write( "5x+3x = +12-28
\n" ); document.write( "8x = -16
\n" ); document.write( "x = (-16)/8
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To prove, we can substitute x= -2 into the original equation 5x+28=-3(x-4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+28=-3(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "5*(-2)+28 = -3*(-2-4)
\n" ); document.write( "-10+28 = -3*(-6)
\n" ); document.write( "18 = 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is x = -2\r
