\textbf{Given:}

\mathsf{x+\dfrac{1}{x}=3}

\textbf{To find:}

\textsf{The value of x which satisfy the equation}\;\mathsf{x+\dfrac{1}{x}=3}

\textbf{Solution:}

\textsf{Consider,}

\mathsf{x+\dfrac{1}{x}=3}

\mathsf{\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}=3}

\mathsf{x^2+1=3x}

\mathsf{x^2-3x+1=0}

\textsf{We apply quadratic formula to find soution of the quadratic equation}

\mathsf{x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}

\mathsf{x=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}}

\mathsf{x=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4}}{2}}

\mathsf{x=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}}

\therefore\mathsf{The\;solutions\;are\;\dfrac{3+\sqrt{5}}{2}\;and\;\dfrac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}}
