Original Equation: \"-8=-%28x%2B4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1: Distribute the '-' to everything in the parenthesis\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-8=-%28x%2B4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-8=-x-4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Add '4' to both sides to get the '-x' by itself\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-8=-x-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4=-x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3: Divide both sides by '-1' to get the 'x' by itself\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-4=-x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4=x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So.. the answer is \"x=4\"
