\n" ); document.write( "Let's deal with the 1st part of the eqn:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%283%2F5+=+%28y%2B1%29%2F20%29+=+18%2Fm+\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B1=%283%2F5%29%2820%29=60%2F5=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=12-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=11%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next part of the eqn:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%283%2F5%29+=+%28y%2B1%29%2F20+=+highlight%2818%2Fm%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5=18%2Fm\", cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"3m=18%2A5=90\" ----> \"cross%283%29m%2Fcross%283%29=cross%2890%2930%2Fcross%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28m=30%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let us check by susbtituting values to our eqn:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5+=+%28y%2B1%29%2F20+=+18%2Fm+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5=%28highlight%2811%29%2B1%29%2F20=18%2Fhighlight%2830%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5=12%2F20=18%2F30\"\"system%283%2F5=red%28a%29%2C12%2F20=red%28b%29%2C18%2F30=red%28c%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide \"red%28b%29\" both by 4, and \"red%28c%29\" by 6 to reduce:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5=cross%2812%293%2Fcross%2820%295=cross%2818%293%2Fcross%2830%295\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F5=3%2F5=3%2F5\"\r
