Hopefully you are able to clearly see the steps I have taken toward solving this problem in the attachment. In case you have trouble understanding what a reciprocal is, the reciprocal of a number is simply the number flipped. So, if you are given 1/2 and asked what the reciprocal is, it would be 2/1, or just 2. That being said, if you are given a whole number, simply remember that a whole number is ALWAYS equal to itself over one. So, in this case, the "sum of a number and its reciprocal" would be n +
1/n
Answer:
A-1/3
B-1/8
C-?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
7z - 1/2 = 3z - 2
Subtract 3z to both sides:
4z - 1/2 = -2
Add 1/2 to both sides:
4z = -1 1/2
Divide 4 to both sides:
z = -0.375 or -3/8
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
After one hour, car a will be only 20 miles ahead of car b, after two hours, car a will only be 10 miles ahead of car b, and after 3 hour, they will both be equal. This is because car b is going 10 mph faster than car a, because 70-60=10. every hour, car b will catch up to car a by 10 miles.
