$\"%281+%2B+2%29%2Fx+=+3%2Fx%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 1+2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2Fx+=+3%2Fx%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%5E2+=+3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%5E2%2Fx+=+3x%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
