You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x + $\"x%2F2\"$ + $\"x%2F4\"$ = 10.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To get rid of the denominators mult equation by 4, this means mult each term in the equation by 4:
\n" ); document.write( "4*x + 4* $\"x%2F2\"$ + 4* $\"x%2F4\"$ = 4*10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This gets rid of the denominator and leaves you with:
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2x + x = 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40/7
