what is the value of
\n" ); document.write( "-3 + 4a = -11
\n" ); document.write( "add 3 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4a = -11 + 3
\n" ); document.write( "4a = -8
\n" ); document.write( "a = -8/4
\n" ); document.write( "a = -2
\n" ); document.write( "Check this for yourself in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 6(3x-7) = -2
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the 6
\n" ); document.write( "2x+ 18x - 42 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "20x = -2 + 42
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40/20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Do the same for this one
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4 - 3(x+1) = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "4 - 3x - 3 = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "-3x + 1 = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "-3x - 2x = 1 - 1
\n" ); document.write( "-5x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "4 - 3(0+1) = 2(0) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "4 - 3 = 0 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
