$\"2A%2F3+=+8+%2B+4A+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of the equation by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%282A%2F3%29+=+3%2A8+%2B+3%2A%284A%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A+=+24+%2B+12A\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract $\"2A\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A+-+2A+=+24+%2B+12A+-+2A\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0+=+24+%2B+10A\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 24 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0+-+24+=+24+-+24+%2B+10A\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-24+=+10A\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%2824%2F10%29+=+A\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A+=+-2.4\"$ answer
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A%2F3+=+8+%2B+4A+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28-2.4%29%2F3+=+8+%2B+4%28-2.4%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4.8+%2F3+=+8+-+9.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1.6+=+-1.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
