$\"+%28x-3%29%2F8-7%2F4+=+5%2F8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+3+-+2%2A7+=+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+3+-+14+=+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+17+=+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"17\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check:
