Why do you need a calculator to solve this?
\n" );
document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%283%2F8%29a+-+8%2C+%22=%22%2C+13%29\".
\n" );
document.write( "You need to proceed by:
\n" );
document.write( "1) Multiplying each side by the LCD, 8
\n" );
document.write( "2) ADDing the constant to both sides
\n" );
document.write( "3) DIVIDING EACH side by whatever you need to \"get rid of\" so \"a\" can be ISOLATED
\n" );
document.write( "You'll then have your value for \"a\" and you already know what that is.
\n" );
document.write( "Nothing more, nothing less! \n" );

\n" );
