Answer:
Answer:
No real value of x is possible. so question is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Sum of two numbers = 9
Sum of their reciprocal = 9 / 20
To find: The numbers
Solution:
Let the one number be x.
Then another number = ( 9 - x)
Then the equation formed will be,
\begin{gathered}\dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{(9-x)} = \dfrac{9}{20}\\\\\dfrac{(9-x)+x}{x(9-x)} = \dfrac{9}{12}\\\\12 \times 9 = 9 (9x -x^2)\\\\108 = 18x - 9x^2\\\\12 = 2x - x^2\\\\x^2 - 2x + 12 = 0\\\\\end{gathered}
