$\"+1%2Fa%2B1%2Fb=c+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+a%2Ab+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+%2B+a+=+a%2Ab%2Ac+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+a+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+a%2Ab%2Ac+-+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "factor out $\"+a+\"$ from the right side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+a%2A%28+b%2Ac+-+1+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+b%2Ac+-+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+a+=+b+%2F+%28+b%2Ac+-+1+%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
