the sum of 2 whole numbers is 9 and the sum of their reciprocals is 1/2. find the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=one of the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "9-x=2nd number
\n" ); document.write( "1/x+1/(9-x)=1/2
\n" ); document.write( "LCD: 2x(9-x)
\n" ); document.write( "18-2x+2x=9x-x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-9x+18=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-6)(x-3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x=3
\n" ); document.write( "numbers are: 6 and 3 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
