\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--Your first step would be to distribute everything.
\n" ); document.write( "--Your second step would be to combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "--Your third step out be to add 8x to each side. The one's on the right would cancel out.
\n" ); document.write( "--Your fourth step would be to add two to each side. The 2's on the left will cancel out.
\n" ); document.write( "--Your fifth step would be to divide by 15.
\n" ); document.write( "7(x-1) + 5 = 2(3-4x) + 7
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 7 + 5 = 6 - 8x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 2 = 13 - 8x
\n" ); document.write( "15x - 2 = 13
\n" ); document.write( "15x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Always check your work:
\n" ); document.write( "7(x-1) + 5 = 2(3-4x) + 7
\n" ); document.write( "7(1-1) + 5 = 2(3-4*1) + 7
\n" ); document.write( "0 + 5 = 6 - 8 + 7
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I got x = 1. and it checked. I'm not sure how your son got -11. If you need further explaining, just let me know.\r
