a positive integer is twice another. The sum of the reciprocals of the two positive integers is frac 3/16, find the two integers

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the smallest integer

Let $2x$ be the larger integer

As the sum of the reciprocals of the two positive integers is frac 3/16

So,

$\frac{1}{x}\:+\:\frac{1}{2x}\:=\:\frac{3}{16}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:LCM=}16x$

$\frac{1}{x}\cdot \:16x+\frac{1}{2x}\cdot \:16x=\frac{3}{16}\cdot \:16x$

Simplify

$24=3x$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$3x=24$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{24}{3}$

$x=8$

So,

$2x=16$

<h2>Verification:</h2>

$\frac{1}{8}\:+\:\frac{1}{16}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}8,\:16:\quad 16$

$=\frac{2}{16}+\frac{1}{16}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{2+1}{16}$

$=\frac{3}{16}$

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{16}$

−4x + y = 6 −5x − y = 21

Scorpion4ik [409]

You have in the first equation "+y" and in the second "-y"
So, you add the 2 equations, so we can remove this 2 letters since they're opposite numbers.
So, we get:
-4x + y -5x - y = 21 + 6
-4x -5x = 21 + 6

Then, you add
-4x -5x = 21 + 6
-9x = 27

Then, you move the -9 to the other part, next to the 27. And since it was a multiplication, it becomes a division.
x = $-\frac{27}{9}$
$x = -3$

Then, you choose an equation of the system, and you replace x by it's value so you can find y. I'll take the first equation.

-4x + y = 6
-4*-3 + y = 6
12 + y = 6

Then, you move 12 to the other part next to the 6. And since it was a positive number, it becomes a negative number.
So
y = 6 - 12
y = -6

So, the solution of the proposed system is (x;y) = (6;-6)
x = 6
y = -6

Hope this Helps :)
