\n" ); document.write( "The sum of 2/3 and five times a number is equal to 5/6 subtracted from six times the number.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ + 5n = 6n - $\"5%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6 to get rid of the fractions
\n" ); document.write( "2(2) + 6(5n) = 6(6n) - 5
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 30n = 36n - 5
\n" ); document.write( "30n + 4 = 36n - 5
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 5 = 36n - 30n
\n" ); document.write( "9 = 6n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 9/6
