$\"x+%2B+%285%2F4%29+=+%283%2F4%29%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply each term by $\"4\"$ on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x+%2B+5+=+3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract $\"3x\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+5+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract $\"5\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+%285%2F4%29+=+%283%2F4%29%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5+%2B+%285%2F4%29+=+%283%2F4%29%2A%28-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by $\"4\"$
