You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%28x%2B3%29\"$ = $\"6%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "6(x+3) = 4x
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 18 = 4x
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 4x = -18
\n" ); document.write( "2x = -18
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"%28-18%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = -9
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original problem
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%28%28-9+%2B+3%29%29\"$ = $\"6%2F%28-9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%28-6%29\"$ = $\"6%2F%28-9%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
