You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"1%2F2\"$ n + $\"1%2F3\"$ n = 22
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6 to get rid of the denominators, results
\n" ); document.write( "3n + 2n = 6(22)
\n" ); document.write( "5n = 132
\n" ); document.write( "n = $\"132%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "n = 26.4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let's see if that number works out
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ (26.4) + $\"1%2F3\"$ (26.4) = 22
\n" ); document.write( "13.2 + 8.8 = 22, is does but I was expecting an integer, how about you? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
