\"6x+-1%2F5+-+%282%2F3%29x+=+3\"Start with given equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x+cross%28-1%2F5%2B1%2F5%29+-+%282%2F3%29x+=+3%2B1%2F5\"add 1/5 to each side to cancel out -1/5
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%2A%283%2F3%29+-+%282%2F3%29x+=+3%2A%285%2F5%29%2B1%2F5\"Add fractions by finding common denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2818%2F3%29x-+%282%2F3%29x+=+15%2F5%2B1%2F5\"Add
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2816%2F3%29x+=+16%2F5\"Multiply both sides by (3/16) to cancel out (16/3) on left side
\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%28%283%2F16%29%2816%2F3%29%29x+=+%283%2F16%29%2816%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%283%2Fcross%2816%29%29%28cross%2816%29%2F5%29\"The 16's cancel top and bottom leaving
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
