\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F6%29%2Ax+-+2x+%2B+8%2F3+=+5%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If so,
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+-+12x+%2B+16+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-7x+%2B+16+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+16+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-7x+=+-6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+-7+\"$
