<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

Answer:
4y = -m-1 bcoz u use the formula y-y1 = (y2-y1/x2-x1) times (x-x1)
I put the solution on the paper
First, we can write the equation of the line using the information provided:
Now, we can create a table:
Finally, we can graph the line:
The answer is 40.
1000/25 will give you the new ratio
Simple way of thinking about it
25 enlisted men = 1 officer
1000enlisted men = X officer
Cross multiply (25 by X officer and the 1 officer by the 1000)
25x = 1000
X= 40.
