ab=1 bc=2 cd=3 de=4 ea=6
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ab=1\"$ ; $\"b=1%2Fa\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"bc=2\"$ ; $\"c=2%2Fb\"$ = $\"2a\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cd=3\"$ ; $\"d=3%2Fc\"$ = $\"3%2F2a\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"de=4\"$ ; $\"e=4%2Fd\"$ = $\"4%2A2a%2F3\"$ = $\"8a%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ea=6\"$ $\"%288a%2F3%29%2Aa=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%288%2F3%29a%5E2=6\"$ Multiply each side by $\"3%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2=18%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2=9%2F4\"$ Find the square root of each side.
\n" ); document.write( "a= $\"3%2F2\"$ OR $\"a=-3%2F2\"$ ANSWER 1
\n" ); document.write( "b= $\"1%2F%283%2F2%29\"$ = $\"2%2F3\"$ OR $\"b=1%2F%28-3%2F2%29\"$ = $\"-2%2F3\"$ ANSWER 2
\n" ); document.write( "c= $\"2%283%2F2%29\"$ = $\"3\"$ OR $\"c=2%28-3%2F2%29\"$ = $\"-3\"$ ANSWER 3
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%283%2F2%29%282%2F3%29\"$ = $\"1\"$ OR $\"d=%283%2F2%29%28-2%2F3%29\"$ = $\"-1\"$ ANSWER 4
\n" ); document.write( "e= $\"8a%2F3\"$ = $\"%288%2F3%29%283%2F2%29=4\"$ OR $\"%288%2F3%29%28-3%2F2%29=-4\"$ ANSWER 5
\n" ); document.write( "You can check by multiplying all the pairs.
