Question

What is the solution to the equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + \frac{1}{x} = 15$

Multiply equation on by 4

$4(x + \frac{1}{x} ) = 4 \times 15$

$4x + x = 60$

$5x = 60$

$x = \frac{60}{5} = 12$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1 x = 15

4

2x = 15

4

2x = 15 * 4

2x = 60

x = 60

2

x = 30
