What you have, written in a better way is
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y+=+%285%2B%281%2F3%29%29%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "I'm not sure what level math you are at, but
\n" ); document.write( "here's how I'd do it:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y+=+%285%2B%281%2F3%29%29%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by \"8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16y+=+5+%2B+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by \"3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"48y+=+15+%2B+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"48y+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
