$\"2%2F%28n-3%29-4%2B1=3%2F2\"$ combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F%28n-3%29-3=3%2F2\"$ add 3 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F%28n-3%29=9%2F2\"$ cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4=9%28n-3%29\"$ distribute
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4=9n-27\"$ add 27 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"31=9n\"$ solve for n
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=31%2F9\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
