x + y = 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%281%2Fx+%2B+1%2Fy%29+=+8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"3%28%28x%2By%29%2F%28xy%29+%29=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"3%282%2F%28xy%29%29+=+8\" ==> \"3%2F%28xy%29+=+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"xy+=+3%2F4\" ==> \"x%282-x%29+=+3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"8x+-+4x%5E2++=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"0+=+4x%5E2+-+8x+%2B+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> 0 = (2x - 1)(2x - 3) ==> x = 1/2, 3/2.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
