Answer:

60 & 40

Step-by-step explanation:

1/x + 1/(100-x) = 1/24

100-x + x = (1/24)(x)((100-x)

2400 = 100x -x^2

x^2 - 100x + 2400 = 0

x^2 -60x -40x + 2400 = 0

(x-60)((x-40) = 0

x = 60 & 40

Answer:

60 & 40

Step-by-step explanation:

1/x + 1/(100-x) = 1/24

100-x + x = (1/24)(x)((100-x)

2400 = 100x -x^2

x^2 - 100x + 2400 = 0

x^2 -60x -40x + 2400 = 0

(x-60)((x-40) = 0

x = 60 & 40
