You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1/4x-1/8x=3-1/16x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "work the left side
\n" ); document.write( "1/4x-1/8x=1/8x
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "1/8x=3-1/16x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "change subtracting to adding the negative
\n" ); document.write( "1/8x=3+-1/16x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add 1/16x to both sides(same as subtracting negative)
\n" ); document.write( "1/8x+1/16x=3/16x
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "3/16x=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3/16
\n" ); document.write( "x=16\r
