When you divide a minus by a minus, you get a plus, so:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+-42+%29+%2F+%28+-45+%29+=+42%2F45+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+42+%2F+45+=+%28+3%2A14+%29+%2F+%28+3%2A15+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+42+%2F+45+=+14%2F15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is true
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
