I would say turn all mixed numbers into improper fractions as
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+11%2F4=+31%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 11/4 from both sides to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+31%2F8+-+11%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "simplify the fractions to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+9%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
