If your problem looks like this
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2A3%29%2F10-%282%2A7%29%2F20\"$ then you need to find the common denominator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F2%29%28%285%2A3%29%2F10%29-%282%2A7%29%2F20\"$ Multiply the 1st term by 2/2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30%2F20-14%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2830-14%29%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2F10\"$ Here's the simplified form\r
