\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Apply the distributive property to distribute the -1 across the parentheses in the RHS.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms in the RHS.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the additive inverse of the term containing the variable in the RHS to both sides and collect like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the additive inverse of the constant term in the LHS to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient on the variable.
