14because2 times 3=6 times 2= 12 plus 2
<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.
Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.
Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.
Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form
