Hello Jennifer,

If you want the easiest, most understandable result I would use one of the
following:

1. Instruct the reader to follow the "most common" way, and add the others
in a side note.
2. Begin the instruction with "Choose one:" and then list the "ways".
3. Try using "Choose one of the following methods to _____"

Hope this helps,

Vicky Moorman
