Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F4+=+%28x%2B2%29%2F5\" Cross-multiply by the denominators.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+=+4%28x%2B2%29\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+=+4x%2B8\" Subtract 4x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F4+=+%28x%2B2%29%2F5\" Substitute x = 8.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2F4+=+%288%2B2%29%2F5\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+=+10%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+=+2\" OK!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
