Question

6. The difference between two positive numbers x
and y (x >y) is 4 and the difference between their
reciprocals is 4/21.Find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x-y=4 (x > y)

1/y-1/x==4/21

=> (x-y)/xy=4/31

=> 4/xy= 4/21

=> xy=21

x-y=4and xy=21

So x=7, y=3

So the numbers are 7and 3.
