Let's look at the first problem \"15%2Bb=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for b by subtracking 15 from each side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15%2Bb-15=4-15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b=-11\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check by substituting the b value.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15%2B%28-11%29=4\" or \"15-11=4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The next equation \"+c%2F14=-3\" would be solved by multiplying 14 to each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2814%2F1%29%28c%2F14%29=-3%2814%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c=-42\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check \"-42%2F14=-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The last equation \"-x%2F8=12\" is solved similarily to the second problem.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by -8. (This will also remove the negative from the x)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28-8%2F1%29%28-x%2F8%29=12%28-8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x=-96\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check \"-96%2F8=12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
