Solve and check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B1%29%2F6=4%2F3\"$ Multiply both sides by the LCD, 6:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%28x%2B1%29%2F6=6%284%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%286%29%2A%28x%2B1%29%2Fcross%286%29=24%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B1=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B1-1=8-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check by substituting x=7 into the original equation and see if both sides =.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2B1%29%2F6=4%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2F6=4%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A4%2F%282%2A3%29=4%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F3=4%2F3\"$ We're right again!!!
