solve by using teh multiplication principle to clear fractions
\n" ); document.write( "1/5a-1/5= -6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the 2 denominators are 5a, and 5
\n" ); document.write( "the LCM is 5a
\n" ); document.write( "multiply all THREE terms by 5a to clear fractions\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[5a]1/5a-1[5a]/5= -6[5a]
\n" ); document.write( "1-1a=-30a
\n" ); document.write( "1=-30a+1a
\n" ); document.write( "1=-29a\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-1/29=a\r
