Hi,
Find an integer {{{highlight_green(x)}}} that is 1 less than 56 times it's reciprocal
Question states***
  {{{  x = 56/x - 1}}}   |Multiplying thru by x so as all denominators = 1
   x^2 = 56 - x
  x^2 + x -56 = 0
 (x+8)(x-7) = 0   x is -8,7 
CHECKING our answer***
 -8 = 56/-8 - 1
  7 = 56/7 - 1
