3 $\"1%2F3\"$ * x - 1 $\"1%2F6\"$ = 5 $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "3 1/3x - 1 1/6 = 5 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "(10/3)x - (7/6) = (11/2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 6 to get rid of the denominators:
\n" ); document.write( "20x - 7 = 33
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2\r
