If the denominator of 5/8 is increased by a number and the numerator is doubled, the result is 1.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let n = the number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%282%2A5%29%29%2F%28%28n%2B8%29%29\"$ = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by n+8
\n" ); document.write( "10 = 1(n+8)
\n" ); document.write( "10 - 8 = n
\n" ); document.write( "2 = n
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If we add 2 to the denominator and double the numerator, we have 10/10 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
