$\"2%2F13=%288%2F13%29x%2B4%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the first step is to subtract 4/13 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2%2F13=%288%2F13%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Last, we divide both sides by 8/13, which is the same thing as multiplying both sides by 13/8.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-2%2F13%29%2813%2F8%29=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2%2F8=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So x=-1/4. \n" ); document.write( "
