\"+%28%2825x+-+100y%29+%2F+%2830+%2F+%28x-4y%29%29%29%2F%286x%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "I read this as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+-+100y+\" divided by some fraction
\n" ); document.write( "with \"+30+\" on top
\n" ); document.write( "and the fraction \"+%28x-4y%29%2F%286x%29+\" on the bottom
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I can take the \"+%28x-4y%29%2F%286x%29+\", flip it, and
\n" ); document.write( "multiply it by the \"+30+\", so I get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2825x+-+100y%29+%2F+%2830+%2A+%28%286x%29+%2F+%28x-4y%29%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2825x+-+100y%29+%2F+%28%28180x%29+%2F+%28x-4y%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now I can flip the \"+%28180x%29+%2F+%28x-4y%29+\",
\n" ); document.write( "and multiply it by \"+25x+-+100y+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2825x+-+100y%29+%2A+%28%28x-4y%29+%2F+%28180x%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%2825+-+100x%29+%2A+%28x+-+4y%29%29+%2F+%28180x%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide top and bottom by \"5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%285+-+20x%29+%2A+%28x+-+4y%29%29+%2F+%2836x%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+5%2A%28+-4x+%2B+1+%29%2A%28+x+-+4y+%29%29+%2F+36x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+5%2A%28+-4x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+16x%2Ay+-+4y+%29%29+%2F+%2836x%29+\"
