When you have a problem with fractions, such as you have here, consider clearing the fractions by multiplying the entire equation by the LCD.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288r%2F5%29-2+=+%283r%2F10%29%2B8\" Multiply both sides by 10, the LCD.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%28%288r%2F5%29-2%29+=+10%28%283r%2F10%29%2B8%29\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"16r-20+=+3r%2B80\" Subtract 3r from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"13r-20+=+80\" Add 20 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"13r+=+100\" Divide both sides by 13.
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+100%2F13\"\r
