4x+1 / 3 = x-5 / 2 first make the denominators equal
\n" ); document.write( "2(4x+1)/6 = 3(x-5)/6 now delete them
\n" ); document.write( "2(4x+1) = 3(x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "8x+2 = 3x-15
\n" ); document.write( "8x-3x = -15-2
\n" ); document.write( "5x = -17
\n" ); document.write( "x = -17/5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
