Starting with
\n" ); document.write( "1/4(7+3g) = -g/8
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "7/4 + 3/4g = -g/8
\n" ); document.write( "Group like terms
\n" ); document.write( "3/4g + g/8 = -7/4
\n" ); document.write( "Create common denominators
\n" ); document.write( "3/4g(2/2) + g/8 = -7/4
\n" ); document.write( "6/8g + 1g/8 = -7/4
\n" ); document.write( "7/8g = -7/4
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 7/8(same as multiplying by 8/7)
\n" ); document.write( "g = -7/4(8/7)
\n" ); document.write( "g = -2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively,
\n" ); document.write( "Start by distributing the 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "7/4+3/4g = -g/8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 8
\n" ); document.write( "14 + 6g = -g
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "6g+g=-14
\n" ); document.write( "7g=-14
\n" ); document.write( "g=-2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "1/4(7+3(-2)) = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "-(-2)/8 = 1/4
