You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"%286x+-+1%29+%2F+5+-+2x+%2F+3\"$ = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying equation by 15 gets rid of the denominators:
\n" ); document.write( "3(6x - 1) - 5(2x) = 15(3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "18x - 3 - 10x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "18x - 10x = 45 + 3
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "x = 48/8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check; substitute 6 for x in the original equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%286%286%29+-+1%29+%2F+5+-+2%286%29+%2F+3\"$ = 3
