[(3x-1)/8] - [(2x+1)/3] = [(1-x)/4] - 1 Multiply everything by 24 to clear the fractions
\n" ); document.write( "3(3x-1)-8(2x+1)=6(1-x)-24
\n" ); document.write( "9x-3-16x-8=6-6x-24; collect terms
\n" ); document.write( "-x=-7
\n" ); document.write( "x=7
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "(20/8)-(15/3)=(-6/4)-1
\n" ); document.write( "2 1/2 -5=-1 1/2-1
\n" ); document.write( "-2 1/2= -2 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "
