Starting with
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F2+=+5x%2B18\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2Fcross%282%29%29%2Across%282%29+=+2%285x%2B18%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Resulting in
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2(5x+18)
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10x + 36
\n" ); document.write( "Group like terms
\n" ); document.write( "x - 10x = 10x + 36 - 10x
\n" ); document.write( "-9x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -9
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28cross%28-9%29x%29%2Fcross%28-9%29+=+%2836%2F-9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = -4
