I can't tell if you mean $\"+7%2F%28+x-2+%29+\"$ or $\"+7%2Fx+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I'll go with the 2nd one
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2Fx+-+2+-+%28+3%2Fx+%2B+2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2Fx+-+2+-+3%2Fx+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2Fx+-+3%2Fx+-+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%28+7+-+3+%29%29+%2F+x+-+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2Fx+-+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "You could also express this as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2Fx+-+4%2A%28x%2Fx%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2Fx+-+%284x%29%2Fx+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%28+4+-+4x+%29%29%2Fx+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
