You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first separate the (x-y)/x to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Fx-y%2Fx=.3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then multiply through by x to get rid of the denominator:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-y=.3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-y=-.7x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then divide both sides by -.7:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2F.7=x\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
