Question 679669
{{{n + 2(1/n) = 83/9}}}
...
{{{n + 2/n = 83/9}}}
...
Multiply the entire equation by n
{{{n^2 + 2 = n(83/9)
...
Multiply the entire equatin by 9
{{{9n^2 + 18 = 83n}}}
...
{{{9n^2 - 83n + 18}}}
(9n -2)(n-9) = 0
9n-2 = 0
9n = 2
n = {{{2/9}}}
...
n-9=0
n = 9
...
The number could be 9 OR {{{2/9}}}
{{{9 + 2(1/9) = 81/9 + 2/9 = 83/9}}}
{{{2/9 + 2(9/2) = 2/9 + 9 = 2/9 + 81/9 = 83/8}}}
