$\"4x-17%2F8=4\"$ Get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 8.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%284x-17%2F8%29=4%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"32x-17=32\"$ Now we need to get x by itself. So add 17 to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"32x-17%2B17=32%2B17\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"32x=49\"$ Divide by 32 on both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"32x%2F32=49%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=49%2F32\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
