You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x - 5(3x - 7) = 2(x + 9) + 45
\n" ); document.write( "3x-5(3x)-5(-7)=2(x)+2(9)+45
\n" ); document.write( "3x-15x+35=2x+18+45
\n" ); document.write( "-12x+35=2x+63
\n" ); document.write( "-12x-2x+35=-2x+2x+63
\n" ); document.write( "-14x+35=63
\n" ); document.write( "-14x+35-35=63-35
\n" ); document.write( "-14x=28
\n" ); document.write( "-14x/-14=28/-14
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check if x=-2 does the equation equal?
\n" ); document.write( "3(-2)-5(3(-2)-7)=2(-2+9)+45
\n" ); document.write( "-6-5(-6-7)=2(7)+45
\n" ); document.write( "-6-5(-13)=14+45
\n" ); document.write( "-6+65=59
\n" ); document.write( "59=59 Yes, we're right!!!
