\"7x-5%2B3x=6%2Bx-10\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7%28-4%29-5%2B3%28-4%29=6-4-10\" Plug in \"x=-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-28-5-12=6-4-10\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-45=-8\" Combine like terms. Since the two sides are not equal, this means \"x=-4\" is not a solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
