Question

A positive integer is twice another. The sum of the reciprocals of the two positive integers is 3/14. Find the two integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The integers are 7 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x

1/y + 1/x = 3/14

1/(2x) + 1/x 3/14

1/(2x) + 2/(2x) = 3/14

3/(2x) = 3/14

1/2x = 1/14

2x = 14

x = 7

y = 2x = 2(7) = 14

Answer: The integers are 7 and 14.
