please could you help with rearranging this equation.....\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if problem is x = (7 + 8y)/(7 + 8y), then:
\n" ); document.write( "x = (7 + 8y)/(7 + 8y)
\n" ); document.write( "x(7 + 8y) = 7 + 8y (multiplied both sides by 7 + 8y)
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 8xy = 7 + 8y
\n" ); document.write( "8xy - 8y = 7 - 7x (subtracted 7x from both sides, subtracted 8y from both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "y(8x - 8) = 7 - 7x
\n" ); document.write( "y = (7 - 7x)/(8x - 8)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if this was instead the problem: x = 7 + 8y/7 + 8y, then:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7 + 8y/7 + 8y
\n" ); document.write( "-8y/7 - 8y = 7 - x (subtracted 8y/7 + 8y from both sides, subtracted x from both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "-8y - 56y = 49 - 7x (multiplied both sides by 7)
\n" ); document.write( "-64y = 49 - 7x
\n" ); document.write( "64y = 7x - 49 (divided both sides by -1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (7x - 49)/64
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
