here is the original problem
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2Fx%29\"$ / $\"%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - multiply by 1/(x-3) to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2Fx%29%2A%281%2F%28x-3%29%29\"$ / $\"%28x-3%29%2A%281%2F%28x-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "notice the denominator x-3 parts drop out, so we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2Fx%29%2A%281%2F%28x-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which is
