Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are 2,

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

so

$x + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{2} \\ = {x}^{2} + 1 = x \times \frac{5}{2} \\ = 2 {x}^{2} + 2 = 5x \\ = 2 {x}^{2} - 5x + 2 = 0$

$(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \\ so \: therefore \: x = 2 \: and \: x = \frac{1}{2}$
