You can put this solution on YOUR website!
16/(x+6) - 14/(x+12) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by (x+6)*(x+12)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16%28x%2B12%29+-+14%28x%2B6%29+=+%28x%2B6%29%2A%28x%2B12%29+=+x%5E2+%2B+18x+%2B+72\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+18x+%2B+72+=+16x+%2B+192+-+14x+-+84\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+16x+-+36+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 18)*(x - 2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = -18
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
