I would set this problem up like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F4%29%2B%281%2Fx%29+=+1%2F3\" Solve for x. Add the fractions on the left side. The common denominator is 4x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F4x%29%2B%284%2F4x%29+=+1%2F3\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2Bx%29%2F4x+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2Bx+=+4x%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12%2B3x+=+4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is: \"1%2F12\" of the your life more.
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4+%2B+1%2F12+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F12+%2B+1%2F12+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F12+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
