Let $\"+n+\"$ = total number of students
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F4%29%2An+%2B+%281%2F3%29%2An+%2B+%281%2F6%29%2An+%2B+24+=+n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+4n+%2B+2n+%2B+288+=+12n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+12n+-+9n+=+288+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+=+288+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+96+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 96 students
\n" ); document.write( "----------
