Here is the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "(i) $\"4y-4%2F8+%2B26%2F2+=1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - multiply by 8 [common denominator] to get
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) $\"32y+-+4+%2B+104+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - combine like terms to get
\n" ); document.write( "(iii) $\"32y+%2B+100+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 100 to get
\n" ); document.write( "(iv) $\"32y+=+-98\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 32 to get
\n" ); document.write( "(v) $\"y+=+-98%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which can be reduced to y = -49/16 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
