Steps:
\n" ); document.write( "1- isolate x by multiplying 4 on both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "2- multiply 2 and 4
\n" ); document.write( "3- divide the result of 2 times 4 by 8
\n" ); document.write( "4- you should see the value of x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F4%29=%282%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%2F8%294\" <-- this is the same as to say --> \"x=%282%2F8%29%284%2F1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8%2F8\" <-- any number divided by itself will always equal to 1.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
