document.write( "Hi, 
\n" );
document.write( "***Note: let's proceed to have all denominators = 1 
\n" );
document.write( "½(y-2)+ 2 =3/8(3y-4) 
\n" );
document.write( "multiplying each term on both sides of the equation by 8 so as all denominators = 1
\n" );
document.write( "4(y-2) + 2*8 = 3(3y-4)
\n" );
document.write( "4y - 8 + 16 = 9y - 12
\n" );
document.write( "-8 + 16 + 12 = 5y
\n" );
document.write( "20 = 5y
\n" );
document.write( "4 = y\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "½(4-2)+ 2 =3/8(3*4-4) = 3 \n" );
