3 AND -4/7 are solutions to the equation (but because the question asked for the integer that satisfies the equation only 3 is correct since -4/7 is not an integer).

Let x be the number. Solve the following equation for x:

(1/2x)+(1/(2x+2))=7/24 [Now you need a common denominator on the left side, so and multiply the second term by (2x) in the numerator and the denominator.]

(2x+2)/(2x(2x+2))+(2x/(2x(2x+2))=7/24 [Now multiply both sides by (2x(2x+2)) and 24 to clear the denominators on both sides.]

24*(2x+2+2x)=7*2x(2x+2) [Multiply out the left and right sides and combine terms to simplify.]

96x+48=28x2+28x [Divide both side by four and solve the quadratic equation.]

24x+12=7x2+7x

7x2-17x-12=0 [The easiest way to solve this (if the factorization is not obvious) is to us the quadratic equation.]

x=(17+/-sqrt(172-4*7*(-12)))/(2*7)

x=(17+/-sqrt(289+336))/(14)

x=(17+/-25)/(14)

x=42/14=3 OR x=-8/14=-4/7

Instead of the quadratic equation, you can observe that the above quadratic equation can be factored into:

(x-3)(7x+4)=0, which yields the same solutions.

The A+ answer is 3.

The reciprocal of an integer plus the reciprocal of two times the integer plus two equals 23 Find the integer?

This question can be expressed algebraically as: (1/n) + (1/(2n)) + 2 = 23, (1/n) + (1/(2n)) =21, ((1+2)/(2n)) = 21, (3/(2n)) = 21, or 2n = (3/21), 2n = (1/7), so n = (1/14). This, by the way, is an elementary algebraic proof that the solution to the above relation is (1/14). Anyway, to answer the question, reread the question: "[What integer is such that] the reciprocal of the integer...". notice, the reciprocal of (1/14) is 14, which is the integer in question! ^_^
