\r\n" );
document.write( "-2*(7-y) + 4 = -4   ====>\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "-2*7 + 2y + 4 = -4  ====>  subtract4 from both sides  ====>\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "-14 + 2y = -8   ====>  add 14 to both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2y = -8 + 14\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2y = 6  ====>  y =  = 3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  y = 3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You may check this solution on your own by substituting the value y= 3 into the original equation.\r\n" );
