Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.

Answer: Choice C and Choice D
========================================================
Explanation:
- Choice A doesn't work because it the $1 should be $7 instead.
- Choice B doesn't work because it should be Elena spending $7 total on 3 notebooks and a $1 pen. The x is the amount per notebook.
- Choice C does work. If x is the number of grapes Noah gives each friend, then 3x is the total amount Noah gives over. Then 3x+1 is the number of grapes total. That +1 at the end is the grape Noah eats. We end up with 3x+1 = 7 because Noah starts off with 7 grapes.
- Choice D works also. The x is the number of hours for math, science and history each. So 3x is the combined time of those three classes. Add on 1 to get 3x+1 to represent all 7 hours, ie 3x+1 = 7.
- Choice E does not work. If it was her spending $7 on 3 markers and a $1 pen, then it would work.
So basically you need to ......
