Question

The sum of two numbers is 15 and sum of their reciprocals is 3/10 . Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is ur answer....

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers =15

Sum of their reciprocals=3/10

Numbers x, 15 -x

1/x + 1/15 -x = 3/10

15 -x+x/ x(15 -x) = 3/10

15/15x - x^2 = 3/10

150 = 45x - 3x^2

3x^2 - 45x +150 = 0

x^2 - 15x + 50 = 0

(x - 10) ( x - 5) = 0

x = 10 , 5

Answer 2

$\huge \sf \color{purple}{\underline{\underline{Answer}}} :$

Two numbers are 5 and 10

$\huge \sf \color{purple}{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}:$

✯ Let the number be x .

✯ Then the other number is 15 - x.

$\sf \color{brown}{Using \: the \: given \: information \: , we\: get }$

$\sf \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{15-x}=\frac{3}{10} \\ \\ \sf \frac{15-x+x}{x(15-x)}=\frac{3}{10} \\ \\ \sf \frac{15}{(15x-x²)}=\frac{3}{10} \\ \\ \sf 150=45x-3x² \\ \\ \sf 3(x²-15+50)=0 \\\\ \sf x²-15+50=0 \\ \\ \sf x²-5x-10x+50 =0 \\ \\ \sf (x-10)(x-5)=0 \\ \\ \sf x-10=0 \: \: \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ \sf x-5 \\ \\ \sf \boxed{ \colorbox{lightgreen}{x=10}} \ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ \boxed{\colorbox{lightgreen}{ x = 5 }}$

When x = 10 , then the other number is 15-5 = 10

When x = 5, then the other number is 15-5 = 10

$\sf \color{blue}{Hence, \ the \ two \ numbers \ are \ 5 \ and \ 10 }$
