Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
-2x + 6 - 13x + 16
= -15x + 22
X- the miles Hans is driving
51,96+0,12*x=45,96+0,14*x
51,96-45,96=0,14x-0,12x
6=0,02x
x=6:0,02
x=300 miles
Based on the information given about the equation, y will be 0.5x + 2.
<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>
From the information given, it should be noted that the equation of the line it represents was given and the y intercept is = (0, 2).
The function to represent y will be:
y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x + 2
y = 0.5x + 2
In conclusion, y = 0.5x + 2.
