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
X=2
, y=3
this is the answer

No, because 7 x 21 is 147.
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.
M=0-5/1-0
m=-5/1=-5
y-y1=m*(x-x1)
y-5=-5(x-0)
y-5=-5x
y=-5x+5
