Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%284x-1%29+=+-2%2F%281-3x%29\"$ Cross-multiply.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%281-3x%29+=+-2%284x-1%29\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4-12x+=+-8x%2B2\"$ Add 12x to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4+=+4x%2B2\"$ Subtract 2 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2+=+4x\"$ Divide both sides by 4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F4+=+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+highlight%28x+=+1%2F2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
