\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F5x%29+%2B+%281%2F6%29+=+-2\" Add the fractions on the left side. Common denominator is 30x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286+%2B+5x%29%2F30x+=+-2\" Now multiply both sides by 30x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6+%2B+5x+=+-60x\" Subtract 5x from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6+=+-65x\" Divide both sides by -65.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-6%2F65\"
