Here is the problem:
\n" ); document.write( "y=(2x+5)/(5x-7) Solve for x
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"%282x%2B5%29%2F%285x-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by (5x-7), results
\n" ); document.write( "y(5x-7) = 2x + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5xy - 7y = 2x + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5xy - 2x = 7y + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out x on the left
\n" ); document.write( "x(5y - 2) = 7y + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by (5y-2)
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"%287y%2B5%29%2F%285y-2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
