$\"1%2F3-x%2F5=1%2F2-x%2F10+\"$ Start with the given equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F3=1%2F2-x%2F10%2Bx%2F5+\"$ Add $\"x%2F5\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F3-1%2F2=-x%2F10%2Bx%2F5+\"$ Subtract $\"1%2F2\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F6-3%2F6=-x%2F10%2B2x%2F10+\"$ Convert fractions to equivalent forms with equal denominators
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F6=x%2F10+\"$ Combine the fractions
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%28-1%2F6%29=x+\"$ Multiply both sides by $\"10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-10%2F6=x+\"$ Multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%2F3=x+\"$ Reduce\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have the answer \r
