First off the reciprocal of $\"2\"$ is $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n-2=n%281%2F2%29\"$ by looking at this its obviously 4 but ill show the work.
\n" ); document.write( "4-2=2
\n" ); document.write( "4*.5=2
\n" ); document.write( "But anyway
\n" ); document.write( "So id multiply all by 2 to eliminate fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n-4=n\"$ subtract n and add 4 to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=4\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
