You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"3%2F4+\"$ = $\"-2%2F5\"$ x + $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 20
\n" ); document.write( "20* $\"3%2F4+\"$ = 20* $\"-2%2F5\"$ x + 20* $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel the denominators, resulting in:
\n" ); document.write( "5(3) = 4(-2)x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "15 = -8x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "+8x = 10 - 15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"-5%2F8\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
