\n" ); document.write( "(1/4x) - (2/7) = 1/(2x+2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(7-8x)/28x = 1/2x+2
\n" ); document.write( "28x = (7-8x)(2(x+1))
\n" ); document.write( "14x = (7-8x)(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "-8x^2-x+7 = 14x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+15x-7 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-15 +- sqrt(225-4*-7)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-15 +- sqrt(253)]/2
