You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two things to do:
\n" ); document.write( "First plus a minus is minus
\n" ); document.write( "19/22-1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Now convert 1/2 to x/22
\n" ); document.write( "1/2=11/22
\n" ); document.write( "19/22-11/22
\n" ); document.write( "8/22
\n" ); document.write( "4/11
\n" ); document.write( "All done.
\n" ); document.write( "BTW 4/11 is not a solution. It is a simplification.
\n" ); document.write( "Equations have solutions. This is not an equation. Nothing is equal to anything in the original 19/22+(-1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
