Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Think about you have a pizza. you have 6 people and a total of 12 slices. How many can each person get? 2.
This is the same thing. $2.47 divided by 6 people = $0.46 cents each

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: just turn them into decimals and use a calculator then turn them back into fractions in simplified form
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4) m: 1.25 b: 6 Equation: y= 1.25x + 6
5) m: 20 b: 10 Equation: y= 40x + 10
6) m: -2 b: 0 Equation: y= -2x + 0
7) m: 1/5 b: 1 Equation: y= 1/5x + 1
8) -8.7 = 1.3x + 0
I really hope this helps!
