$\"X%2B3%2F3-3X-12%2F11=1\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Before doing any algebra, I would simplify first where possible. 3/3=1; then the 1's on the two sides of the equation cancel:

\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+3x+-+12%2F11+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now do some algebra. Combine like terms where possible; and get all the terms with the variable on one side of the equation and all the terms without the variable on the other side. After that the last step should be clear: divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the x term.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-6%2F11\"$
