7 0

Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.

Given,

x + y = 2* (x - y)

x + y = 2x - 2y

x = 3y

Also given,

x = 6 + 2y

3y = 6 + 2y

--- y = 6

Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.

Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.

What is the reciprocal of 6 3/7?

77julia77 [94]

I believe your answer is going to be -6 7/3. Reciprocals are the opposites of a number, so I switched the sign on the 6 and made it -. When dealing with fractions, the reciprocal is essentially just flipping the numerator and denominator, which is how I got 7/3.

I hope I helped. Best of luck!
