Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of necklaces Rosaria ordered. Then the total cost of the order is ...
10(120 -n) +11(n) = 1270
n = 70 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 1200
120 -70 = 50 . . . . . . . the number of bracelets
Rosaria purchased 70 necklaces and 50 bracelets.
Answer: $14.40
10% of $18 = $1.80 (just divide it by 10)
$1.80 x 2 = $3.60
20% of $18 = $3.60
since it’s a discount, you subtract from the original price so:
$18 - $3.60 = $14.40
