You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) \"x+-+%28-5%2F6%29+=+2%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Remember, subtracting a negative quantity is the same as adding that quanitiy.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B5%2F6+=+2%2F3\" Subtract 5/6 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+2%2F3+-+5%2F6\" Change 2/3 to its equivalent fraction of 4/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4%2F6+-+5%2F6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-1%2F6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) To find the difference, you subtract. Let n be the number you want to find.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n+-%28-23%29+=+35\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n+%2B+23+=+35\" Subtract 23 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n+%2B+23+-+23+=+35+-+23\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
