If 7 is added to twice a number and this sum is multiplied by 4, the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by -18 and 2 is added to the product.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4(2x+7) = -18x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 28 = -18x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 18x = 2 - 28
\n" ); document.write( "26x = -26
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( "4(2(-1) + 7) = -18(-1) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "4(-2 + 7) = 18 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "4(5) = 20 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
