document.write( "Question 13638: x+(x-10)+1/2x=180
\n" ); document.write( "to solve this problem we will use simple algebra
\n" ); document.write( "that is
\n" ); document.write( "x+x-10+1/2x=180
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1/2x=180+10
\n" ); document.write( "taking lcm
\n" ); document.write( "(2x(2x)+1)/2x=190
\n" ); document.write( "(4x^2+1)/2x=190
\n" ); document.write( "by cross mutiplication
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+1=190*2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+1=380x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2-380x+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "now we can do it either by qudratic formula
\n" ); document.write( "or completing square method
