ok first thing is to make (x-7) a fraction by placing it over 1
\n" ); document.write( "we can do this because $\"%28x-7%29%2F1\"$ equals $\"%28x-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now the equation looks like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-7%29%2F1%29%2A%282%2F3%29=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next multiply the numerator of each fraction and the denominator of fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-14%29%2F3=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply each side of the equal sign by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%28%282x-14%29%2F3%29=25%2A3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-14=75\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next add 14 to both sides of the equal sign
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-14%2B14=75%2B14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=89\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now to solve for x divide both sides of the equal sign by 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F2=89%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=44.5\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
