Answer: No solution
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1st number: x
2nd number: x + 2
- reciprocal of the larger is
- 4 times the reciprocal of the smaller is 4
- reciprocal of the larger of two consecutive even integers is subtracted from 4 times the reciprocal of the smaller is 4
-
- the result is 56: 4
= 56
Solve the equation:
4 -
= 56
-
= 56(x(x + 2))
4x + 8 - x = 56x² + 112x
3x + 8 = 56x² + 112x
0 = 56x² + 109x - 8
Use the quadratic formula to solve:
x =
The result is NOT AN INTEGER so there is NO SOLUTION
