You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"+4%2Fx+-+1+%2B+3%2Fx+=+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The rule is: Whatever you do that changes the left side
\n" ); document.write( "of the equals sign, you must also do on the right side.
\n" ); document.write( "First, add $\"+1+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2Fx+%2B+3%2Fx+=+3+%2B+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Do the addition on the right
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2Fx+%2B+3%2Fx+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply both sides by $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2A%284%2Fx%29+%2B+x%2A%283%2Fx%29+=+4x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now notice that you can rewrite the left side as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28x%2Fx%29%2A4+%2B+%28x%2Fx%29%2A3+=+4x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Notice $\"+x%2Fx+=+1+\"$ , so rewrite the left side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4+%2B+3+=+4x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+=+4x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides by $\"+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2F4+=+%284%2F4%29%2Ax+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2F4+=+x+\"$ answer\r
