Assume the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( " \"%28%28x%2B2%29%29%2F3\" + \"%28%28x-1%29%29%2F4\" = \"3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 12 (LCM) to clear the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "12*\"%28%28x%2B2%29%29%2F3\" + 12*\"%28%28x-1%29%29%2F4\" = 12*\"3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel out the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "4(x+2) + 3(x-1) = 6(3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 8 + 3x - 3 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 5 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 18 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 13
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"13%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
