3x=1-1/x
\n" ); document.write( "3x+1/x=1 combine the x terms.
\n" ); document.write( "(3x*x+1)/x=1
\n" ); document.write( "(3x^2+1)/x=1 cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2+1=x
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2-x+1=0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=(1+-sqrt1^2-4*3*1])/2*3
\n" ); document.write( "x=(1+-sqrt[1-12])/6
\n" ); document.write( "x=(1+-sqrt-11)/6
\n" ); document.write( "x=(1+-3.32i)/6
