\"-3%2F4\"x + 4 =-2
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " \"-3%2F4\"x = -2 -4
\n" ); document.write( " \"-3%2F4\"x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of those negatives, multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "4*\"3%2F4\"x = 4*6
\n" ); document.write( "cancel on the left
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this in the original problem, replace x with 8
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3%2F4\"(8) + 4 =-2
\n" ); document.write( "three quarters of 8 is 6
\n" ); document.write( "-6 + 4 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = -2, confirms our solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
