if 4 times the reciprocal of a number is 3 more than 5/2 times the reciprocal of that number.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2Fn\"$ - 3 = $\"5%2F2\"$ * $\"1%2Fn\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2Fn\"$ - 3 = $\"5%2F%282n%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 2n, results:
\n" ); document.write( "2(4) - 3(2n) = 5
\n" ); document.write( "8 - 6n = 5
\n" ); document.write( "8 - 5 = 6n
\n" ); document.write( "3 = 6n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3/6
\n" ); document.write( "n = $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":'
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this, replace n with 1/2 in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
