Answer:

R =  \frac{6}{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational equation as:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}

To find:

The value of R when x = \frac{\textup{2}}{\textup{5}}

and, y = \frac{\textup{3}}{\textup{4}}

now,

substituting the given values of x and y in the given rational equation,

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}+\frac{1}{\frac{3}{4}}

or

⇒ \frac{1}{R}=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{4}{3}

or

⇒ \frac{1}{R}=\frac{5\times3+4\times2}{2\times3}

or

⇒ \frac{1}{R}=\frac{15+8}{6}

or

⇒ \frac{1}{R}=\frac{23}{6}

now on rearranging, we get

⇒ R =  \frac{6}{23}

one number is 1 more than 2 times another. if their sum is increased by sevan, the result is twenty six
Lady bird [3.3K]

the numbers are 6 and 13

let x be one of the numbers then the other is 2x + 1

their sum increased by 7 = 26

x + 2x + 1 + 7 = 26

3x + 8 = 26

subtract 8 from both sides

3x = 26 - 8 = 18

divide both sides by 3

x = \frac{18}{3} = 6

the numbers are 6 and (2 × 6) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13
