$\"%282%2F3%29X%2B5=10\"$ first thing is to subtract 5 from both sides of = sign
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F3%29X=5\"$ with a fraction before X you would want to multiply by its reciprical to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%28%283%2F2%29%282%2F3%29%29X=5%283%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28X=15%2F2%29\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2811%2F12+-+5%2F9%29%2F%282%2F3%29\"$ find the Lowest Common Denominator for the 2 fractions in the numerator 9*4=36 and 12*3=36 so 36 is the LCD to change the fractions multiply by the common one to get 36 as the denominator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28%2811%2F12%29%283%2F3%29%29-%28%285%2F9%29%284%2F4%29%29%29%2F%282%2F3%29\"$ multiply across numerator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%2833%2F36%29-%2820%2F36%29%29%2F%282%2F3%29\"$ subtract the numerator fractions
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2813%2F36%29%2F%282%2F3%29\"$ when dividing by a fracton it is the same as multiplying by the fractions reciprical
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2813%2F36%29%283%2F2%29\"$ cross cancel what u can
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2813%2F12cross%2836%29%29%281cross%283%29%2F2%29\"$ multiply accros
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%2813%2F24%29\"$
