\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2F3-1%2F2=x%2F5%2B1%2F5\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"30%282x%2Fcross%283%29-1%2Fcross%282%29%29=30%28x%2Fcross%285%29%2B1%2Fcross%285%29%29\" Multiply both sides by the LCD \"30\" to clear any fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20x-15=6x%2B6\" Distribute and multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20x=6x%2B6%2B15\" Add \"15\" to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20x-6x=6%2B15\" Subtract \"6x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"14x=6%2B15\" Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"14x=21\" Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%2821%29%2F%2814%29\" Divide both sides by \"14\" to isolate \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3%2F2\" Reduce.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is \"x=3%2F2\"
