Do this by adding 5 to both sides to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%28-3a%29%2F4+=+7 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%28-3a%29%2F4+=+7\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  Your next move should be to multiply both sides by 4 in order to get rid of the 4 on the left side.  After you do this, you get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%28-3a%29+=+28 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%28-3a%29+=+28\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  The final step is to get rid of the -3 by dividing it.  This gives you <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=a+=+%2828%2F-3%29 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"a+=+%2828%2F-3%29\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. </SPAN>\n" );
