\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Put parentheses around all the terms:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The LCD is .  Put that over 1\r\n" );
document.write( "like this . Put parentheses\r\n" );
document.write( "around it like this .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply every term by it:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Cancel whatever will cancel:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
