\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2F%28%2884-n%29%29\" = \"2%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multipoly
\n" ); document.write( "5n = 2(84-n)
\n" ); document.write( "5n = 168 - 2n
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 2n = 168
\n" ); document.write( "n = 168/7
\n" ); document.write( "n = 24 is the smaller number
