Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2F2+-+x%2F4+=+3%2F4\"$ First, clear the fractions by multiplying through by 4 (the LCD).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-x+=+3\"$ Now subtract 3 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-x-3+=+0\"$ Next, factor the left side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-3%29%28x%2B1%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero products principle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-3+=+0\"$ and/or $\"x%2B1+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"2x-3+=+0\"$ then $\"2x+=+3\"$ and so $\"x+=+3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"x%2B1+=+0\"$ then $\"x+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The solutions are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
