Maybe you have this:
(a+x)/(a-x) = (b-y)/(b+y)

rendered to look like this:
%28a%2Bx%29%2F%28a-x%29+=+%28b-y%29%2F%28b%2By%29

Simplest common denominator is %28a-x%29%28b%2By%29.


Simplify and go from there.

If %28a+%2B+x%29%2F%28a+-+x%29+=+%28b+-+y%29%2F%28b+%2B+y%29, then highlight_green%28x+=+-+ay%2Fb%29
