You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sadly i cant tell which way the equation is by the way you wrote it so i will try 2 of the 4 possible ways to write it hopefully one of them is yours
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2B%284%2F8%29=w%2B%2810%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F8=10%2F5\" in this case this is an invalid equation
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28w%2B4%29%2F8=%28w%2B10%29%2F5\" multiply the denominators together and then multiply both sides by that number, i will keep them as (5*8) so you can see cancelation process
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2A8%29%28%28w%2B4%29%2F8%29=%285%2A8%29%28%28w%2B10%29%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28w%2B4%29=8%28w%2B10%29\" Distribute
\n" ); document.write( "\"5w%2B20=8w%2B80\" subtract 5w
\n" ); document.write( "\"20=3w%2B80\" subtract 80
\n" ); document.write( "\"-60=3w\" divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=-20%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28w%2B4%29%2F8=%28w%2B10%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-20%2B4%29%2F8=%28-20%2B10%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-16%29%2F8=%28-10%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2=-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "correct
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
