Answer: n= 32

Jakes started with 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the initial integer.

Step 1: take the reciprocal.

Reciprocal of n = 1/n

Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1

= 2×1/n = 2/n

Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.

Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2

Since he ended up with 16

n/2 = 16

n = 2×16 = 32

How do you solve u/5+u/10-u/6=1
Zinaida [17]
Find the least common denominator for each of these fractions then complete the equation until it equals 1.

Common factor is 30
u/5 = 6u/30
u/10 = 3u/30
-u/6 = -5u/30

6u/30 + 3u/30 - 5u/30 = 1
4u/30 = 1
4u = 30
u = 7.5

All the numbers end with a zero. The first digits are just like the numbers when you count (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.). This pattern gives the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. found from: http://www.aaamath.com/k4c_cox1.htm

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. At another gym, each month at the g
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: it will take 6 months for both gyms to cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms be the same.

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. This means that the total cost for m months is

12 + 20m

At another gym, each month at the gym costs $22. This means that the total cost for m months is 22m

For both costs to be the same, the number of months would be

12 + 20m = 22m

22m - 20m = 12

2m = 12

m = 12/2 = 6
