\"x\"= the number
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Fx\"= the reciprocal of the number
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A%281%2Fx%29=2%2Fx\"= twice the reciprocal of the number
\n" ); document.write( "The equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F7%2B2%2Fx=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides times \"7x\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%285%2F7%2B2%2Fx%29=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%285%2F7%29%2B7x%282%2Fx%29=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%285%2F7%29%2B7x%282%2Fx%29=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2B14=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14=7x-5x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14=2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14%2F2=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "
