OK so far:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284x%2B3%29%2F8+=+7%2F4\"$ Multiply both sides by 8.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B3+=+8%2A7%2F4\"$ Simplify the right side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B3+=+14\"$ Subtract 3 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=+11\"$ Divide both sides by 4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+11%2F4%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
