Answer:

x=3 or x= 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

The reciprocal of the number = 1/x

According to the given statement:

x+1/x=10/3

x²+1/x=10/3

3(x²+1)=10x

3x²+3=10x

Move 10x to the L.H.S

3x²-10x+3=0

Break the middle term:

3x²-9x-x+3=0

3x(x-3)-1(x-3)=0

(x-3)(3x-1)=0

x-3=0 , 3x-1=0

x=0+3 ,  3x=0+1

x=3    , 3x=1

x=3    ,x = 1/3

So x=3 or x= 1/3 ....

Solve for x. <br> 8x^2 - 5 = 11
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

x =  ±sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^2 - 5 = 11

Add 5 to each side

8x^2 - 5+5 = 11+5

8x^2 = 16

Divide each side by 8

8x^2 = 16/8

x^2 = 2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(2)

x =  ±sqrt(2)
