$\"-5%2F4+=+%28-2--7%29%2F%280-x%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%2F4+=+5%2F%28-x%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F4+=+5%2Fx\"$ , after cancellation of the negative sign.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F4+=+1%2Fx\"$ , after dividing both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4, after taking reciprocals of both sides. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
