I presume this is how it is intended to be written\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2F%28x-4%29%29-%285%2F%28x%2B4%29%29=1\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LCD = (x+4)(x-4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by the LCD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(x+4)-5(x-4) = (x+4)(x-4)\r
