Hello,
Let's assume a and b the 2 numbers with a<b

1/a+1/b=5/6 (1)

1/a-1/b=1/6 (2)
(1)+(2)==>1/a+1/a=5/6+1/6==>2/a=1==>a=2

(1)==>1/b=5/6-1/2==>1/b=5/6-3/6==>1/b=1/3==>b=3

Y is directly proportional to x,<br> and y = 45 when x = $600...<br> Find y if x = $1000.
Paul [167]

Answer:

The Answer is: 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation:

45 / 600 = y / 1000

600y = 45 * 1000

600y = 45000

y = 45,000 / 600 = 75.
