$\"1%2F2+%2B+2%2FX+=+3%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First, add $\"-1%2F2\"$ to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F2+%2B+1%2F2+%2B+2%2FX+=+3%2F4+-+1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F2+%2B+1%2F2+%2B+2%2FX+=+3%2F4+-+2%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2FX+=+1%2F4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply each side by 4X
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284X%29%2A%282%2FX%29+=+%281%2F4%29+%2A%284X%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "8 = X \n" ); document.write( "
