You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the number be x, then
x+x/2+x/3=22 solve for x, common denominator would be 6, so now that all the x terms have common denominator we can combine them...add the tops, leave the bottom now multiply each side by the reverse of what's in front of x, so by 6/11, this will give you x by itself you can reduce top and bottom by 11 (ie 22/11=2 and 11/11=1)
