<PRE><B>Question 863175</B>
if 4 times the reciprocal of a number is 3 more than 5/2 times the reciprocal of that number. 
Find the number?
{{{4/n}}} - 3 = {{{5/2}}} * {{{1/n}}}
{{{4/n}}} - 3 = {{{5/(2n)}}} 
multiply both sides by 2n, results:
2(4) - 3(2n) = 5
8 - 6n = 5
8 - 5 = 6n
3 = 6n
n = 3/6
n = {{{1/2}}}
:&#39;
You can confirm this, replace n with 1/2 in the original equation
