\"%281%2F8%29%2AB+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Is this it?
\n" ); document.write( "If so, multiplying both sides of an equation by a number
\n" ); document.write( "(any number) doesn't change the truth of the equation, so
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by \"8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2A%281%2F8%29%2AB+=+8%2A6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that \"8%2A%281%2F8%29+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+48\" answer
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "On the other hand, if the problem is \"1%2F8B+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "you should multiply both sides by \"8B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8B%2A%281%2F8B%29+=+8B%2A6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+=+48B\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides by \"48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F48+=+%2848%2F48%29%2AB\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that \"48%2F48+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+1%2F48\" answer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
