document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "on the 1st equation I didnt know if I should multiply the fraction by 4 if I do so wouldnt I have to multiply the 1st part of the equation also. The answer just doesnt seem right may be because its a fraction. The 2nd equation I hope is right. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks \n" );
