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:
D.-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of islands visited be x and that peninsulas be y
thus,
x+y=19
⇒y=19-x.........i
if he skydives twice in islands and thrice in peninsulas, then the total number of skydives will be:
2x+3y=45.....ii
substituting i in ii we get:
2x+3(19-x)=45
2x+57-3x=45
putting like terms together we get:
2x-3x=45-57
-x=-12
therefore
x=12
and
y=19-x=19-12=7
hence the number of islands visited was 12 and that of peninsulas was 7
