\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "(2t+3)/(6)-(t-9)/(4) = 5 
\n" );
document.write( "i used 12 as the common demoninator and multiplied both side by it 
\n" );
document.write( "2(2t+3)-3(t-9)=60 
\n" );
document.write( "4t+6-3t+(27) = 60  |Good work. However 'watch the signs'
\n" );
document.write( " t + 33 = 60   |combining like terms (this is where it went...wrong)
\n" );
document.write( "    t = 27
