\"b%2F%28x-a%29+=+%282b%29%2F%28x%2Ba%29\" solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "b(x+a) = 2b(x-a)
\n" ); document.write( "distribute
\n" ); document.write( "bx + ab = 2bx - 2ab
\n" ); document.write( "bx - 2bx = -2ab-ab
\n" ); document.write( "combine terms
\n" ); document.write( "-bx = -3ab
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by =-1
\n" ); document.write( "bx = 3ab
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%283ab%29%2Fb\"
\n" ); document.write( "cancel b
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3a\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
