document.write( "Question 466431: Not sure how to write this on here, but the equation is: find the value of x. x-3 over 4 minus 1 is equal to x minus 5 over 4. help??
\n" ); document.write( "Its written as a fraction. when i say \"over\" thats what i mean. I'd really like to know how to do this. I think it can also be down like this though:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"%28%28x-3%29%2F4%29-1+=+%28x-5%29%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 4 to cancel out the denominators
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-3%29+-4+=+x-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-7+=+x-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x on both sides, they cancel
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-7+=+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "False statement, thus no solution \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
