$\"1%2F8\"$ x - $\"10%2F7\"$ x = $\"-73%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Find the common denominator for the x's; that would be 56
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F56\"$ x - $\"80%2F56\"$ x = $\"-73%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-73%2F56\"$ x = $\"-73%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"73%2F56\"$ x = $\"73%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 73
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F56\"$ x = $\"1%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F56\"$ = $\"1%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "32x = 56
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"56%2F32\"$ reduces to: $\"7%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
