First, we want to get rid of the fractions in the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F9%2B2x%2F5=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "We can do this by multiplying by the least common denominator, which is 45.
\n" ); document.write( "(x/9)*45+(2x/5)*45=3
\n" ); document.write( "5x+18x=3*45
\n" ); document.write( "Then, we can combine our x's and multiply the two numbers in the second half of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "23x=135
\n" ); document.write( "Finally, we can divide both sides by 23 to isolate the variable.
\n" ); document.write( "x=5.869565217...
\n" ); document.write( "We can round this number to 5.87.
\n" ); document.write( "So, x is about 5.87.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
