numerator be x
\n" ); document.write( "denominator = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "fraction = x/(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "(x+5)/(x+2) = x/(x+2) +1
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "(x+5)/(x+2) - x/(x+2) =1
\n" ); document.write( "(x+5 -x)/(x+2)= 1
\n" ); document.write( "5/(x+2) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "5 = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "5-2 = x
\n" ); document.write( "x=3
