document.write( "If 2 times the reciprocal of a number is subtracted from 3 times the number, the difference is 1.
\n" );
document.write( "  ****       |Multiplying thru by x so as all denominators = 1
\n" );
document.write( "    3x^2 - 2 = x
\n" );
document.write( "   3x^2 - x - 2 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "  (3x+2)(x-1) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "  (3x+2)=0   , x = -2/3
\n" );
document.write( "  (x-1)= 0  ,  x = 1
\n" );
