\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3%2Ax%2B13=17\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 13 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3%2Ax=4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiple both sides by 3/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=12%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6\"
