8+2(-4x-7)=35.6 [Use the Order of Operations -- PEMDAS to simplify]
\n" ); document.write( "8-8x-14=35.6
\n" ); document.write( "-6-8x=35.6 [Solve for the x-term]
\n" ); document.write( "-6+6-8x=35.6+6
\n" ); document.write( "-8x=41.6
\n" ); document.write( "-8x/-8=41.6/-8
\n" ); document.write( "x=-5.2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging x= -5.2 back into the original equation and solve.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
