$\"3%28a%2B4%29=2a-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a%2B12=2a-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2a from both sides to get the variables on one side of the equal sign.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a-2a%2B12=2a-2a-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%2B12=-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the a.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%2B12-12=-1-12\"$
