$\"%283%2F4%29n-2=%281%2F8%29n-22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we will make $\"3%2F4=6%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%286%2F8%29n-2=%281%29%2F%288%29n-22\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%286%2F8%29n=%281%2F8%29n-20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2F8%29n=-20\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we will divide by $\"5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "when dividing by a fraction, change division to multiplication and use the fractions inverse.
\n" ); document.write( "We will multiply by $\"8%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=-32\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
