Question

the additive inverse of a number divided by 12 is the same as one less than three times its reciprocal find the another number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the additive inverse of a number divided by 12 is the same as one less than three times its reciprocal .

let the no be x

→ x/12( = 3(12/x )-1

→ x / 12= 36 /x - 1

→ x/12= 36 - x /x

→ x² = 12(36 - x )

→ x² = 432 - 12x

→ x² + 12x - 432

factorize it and uh will get ur answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Then its additive inverse = -x

-x/12 + 1 = 3/x

x/12 - 1 + 3/x = 0

x²/12 - x + 3 = 0

x² - 12x + 36 = 0

(x - 6)² = 0

x = 6
