Question

1/x+1/y = 1/2 Find all possible values of x and y where x and y are any integer​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 1/x + 1/y = 1/2

Since the given equation is a linear equation, we can solve it by assuming one of the x or y values.

Let us assume values for x.

x can have any integer value except for 0. Since 1/0 is an undefined number.

Consider x = 4 ⇒ 1/4 + 1/y = 1/2

⇒ 1/y = 1/2 - 1/4

⇒ 1/y = 1/4

⇒ y = 4

You can also consider other values but it does not result in integer value for y.
