You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Looks OK except at the end.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F4=%283x-2%29%2F%28x%2B1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+4%2A%28x%2B1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+1+=+4%2A%283x+-+2%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+1+=+12x+-+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"x\" from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1+=+11x+-+8+\"
