Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "In the absence of parentheses in your problem, it's hard to tell whether the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "a) \"%281%2F4%29x%2B%285%2F2%29x+=+22\" or
\n" ); document.write( "b) \"1%2F4x+%2B+5%2F2x+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "I will assume that it is a) and proceed from there!
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F4%29x%2B%285%2F2%29x+=+22\" Multiply through by 4 (the LCD) to clear the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%281%2F4%29x+%2B+4%285%2F2%29x+=+4%2822%29\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B10x+=+88\" Add the x-terms on the left.
\n" ); document.write( "\"11x+=+88\" Finally, divide both sides by 11.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x+=+8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
