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}

Lines AD and BC are parallel.
allochka39001 [22]

*see attachment for the missing figure

Answer:

Angle ADE = 45°

Angle DAE = 30°

Angle DEA = 105°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since lines AD and BC are parallel, therefore:

Given that angle Angle CBE = 45°,

Angle ADE = Angle CBE (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Angle ADE = 45° (Substitution)

Angle DAE = Angle ACB (Alternate Interior Angles are congruent)

Angle ACB = 180 - 150 (angles on a straight line theorem)

Angle ACB = 30°

Since angle DAE = angle ACB, therefore:

Angle DAE = 30°

Angle DEA = 180 - (angle ADE + angle DAE) (Sum of angles in a triangle)

Angle DEA = 180 - (45 + 30) (Substitution)

Angle DEA = 180 - 75

Angle DEA = 105°
