Question

Divide 25 into a
their recipropals is
1/6​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the first part = x

The second part = 25-x

Sum of reciprocals:

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{25-x} = \frac{1}{6} x1 + 25−x1 = 61

x² - 25x + 150 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, solution of which is:

x = 10, x = 15

So, 25 can be split into 10 and 15
