$\"%281%2F4%29%28y-%281%2F3%29%29-%281%2F6%29%28y-3%29=2%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%2F4%29-%281%2F12%29-%28y%2F6%29%2B%283%2F6%29=2%2F3\"$ [multiplied first group by 1/4; multiplied second group by -1/6]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283y%2F12%29-%281%2F12%29-%282y%2F12%29%2B%286%2F12%29=8%2F12\"$ [made all fractions have common denominator of 12]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%2F12%29-%287%2F12%29=8%2F12\"$ [combined like terms]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%2F12%29-15%2F12=0\"$ [subtract 8/12 from both sides]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-15+=+0\"$ [multiply both sides by 12]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=15\"$ [add 15 to both sides]
