You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is not possible because you only multiplied \"8%2F8\" which is 1, I sugguest you use this one:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5%2Bx%2F8=2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5%288%29%2B8%28x%2F8%29=2x%288%29\" --- You can multiply ALL the denominator's LCM to ALL terms, by doing this you are able to remove all the denominators.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-40%2Bx=16x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-15x=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=40%2F-15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-8%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
