\"a number times one less than the number is zero\" translates to \"x%28x-1%29+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28x-1%29+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\" or \"x-1+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\" or \"x+=+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the number is either 0 or 1.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
