Let n = the number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2F6%29n+-+%281%2F2%29n+=+6\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%28%285%2F6%29+-+%283%2F6%29%29+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%282%2F6%29+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%281%2F3%29+=+6\"$ Multiply both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+18\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
