$\"2%2F3+=+5%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side of the equation by x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F3=5x%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now you can cancel the x terms on the right, since x/x=1:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F3=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next you want to get x alone on one side of the equation. Multiply each side of the equation by 3:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x by dividing each side of the equation by 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=15%2F2%29\"$
