You can put this solution on YOUR website!
multiply through by x to clear the denominator:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2Fx%29%2Ax%2B4%2Ax+=+4%2Ax+%2B%283%2Fx%29%2Ax-2%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Your new equation is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2B4x=4x%2B3-2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Consolidate like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "5+4x=2x+3
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "4x=2x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-2
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
