\n" ); document.write( "Lucy thinks of a number \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " she adds half of the number (\"%281%2F2%29x\") to one quarter of the number (\"%281%2F4%29x\") and gets \"66\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"%281%2F2%29x%2B%281%2F4%29x=66\" ...solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F2%29x%2B%281%2F4%29x=66\" ...both sides multiply by \"4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4%281%2F2%29x%2B4%281%2F4%29x=66%2A4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%284%292%281%2Fcross%282%29%29x%2Bcross%284%29%281%2Fcross%284%29%29x=264\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2Bx=264\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=264\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=264%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=88\" => Lucy thinks of a number \"88\"\r
