19−3x=28 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Since 19 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 19 from both sides. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "−3x=−19+28 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Add 28 to −19 to get 9. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "−3x=9 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Divide each term in the equation by −3. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "−3x −3 =9 −3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Move the minus sign from the denominator to the front of the expression. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x 3 =9 −3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Cancel the common factor of 3 the expression 3x 3 . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 1 3 x 3 =9 −3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Reduce the expression 3x 3 by removing a factor of 3 from the numerator and denominator. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=9 −3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Move the minus sign from the denominator to the front of the expression. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=−9 3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Cancel the common factor of 3 the expression −9 3 . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=− 3 9 3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Reduce the expression −9 3 by removing a factor of 3 from the numerator and denominator. \r
