Begin by following the herd . . . call the two numbers 'x' and 'y' .
You said that xy=1 , so y = 1/x
You said that x + y = 10, so x + 1/x = 10
Multiply each side by 'x': x² + 1 = 10x
Subtract 10x from each side: x² - 10x + 1 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve this, and the two solutions
that you get for 'x' are also the two numbers 'x' and 'y' .
They are
<em>9.89898</em>
and
<em>0.10102</em>
(rounded)

K - 2k = 15 + 1 + 6k - 2
-k = (15 + 1 - 2) + 6k
-k = 14 + 6k |subtract 6k from both sides
-7k = 14 |divide both sides by (-7)
k = -2
