just write an equation for what it says
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the product of two more than a number and three times the reciprocal of the number is 15/4.
\n" ); document.write( "(n+2) * \"3%2Fn\" = \"15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "We can write it
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%28n%2B2%29%29%2Fn\" = \"15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "12(n+2) = 15n
\n" ); document.write( "12n + 24 = 15n
\n" ); document.write( "24 = 15n - 12n
\n" ); document.write( "24 = 3n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 24/3
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "see if that works
\n" ); document.write( "(8+2) * \"3%2F8\" = \"15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30%2F8\" = \"15%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
