SOLUTION:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a matter of simple cross multiplication as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) Multiply the numerator on the left by the denominator on the right. And the denominator on the left by the numerator on the right. Like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F4t\"=\"7%2F5%28t-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2A%285t-2%29+=+7%2A%284t%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2) Distribute the constant terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"25t-10+=+28t\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3) Isolate t on one side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3t+=+10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=-10%2F3\"
