You should multiply both sides of the equation with a number in which 4 and 3 (as the divisors) are its factors. The simplest way to get this is to, of course, multiply the two, 4 x 3 yielding 12.\r

\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by twelve, and then you'll get rid of the divisors and end up with (don't forget to multiply the (-3) with 12 as well!):\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%28w%2B3%29-12%2A3=4%2A%28w%2B4%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From there, it's just a matter of multiplying and then moving numbers and the variable w back and forth. \n" ); document.write( "
