let one number be x
\n" ); document.write( "therefore the other number is 5*x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "reciprocal of the first number \"1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "reciprocal of the second number \"1%2F5x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given \"1%2Fx\" + \"1%2F5x\" = \"1%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying by 5x on both sides we have
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Fx\"*5x + \"1%2F5x\"*5x = \"1%2F5\"*5x
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 1 =x
\n" ); document.write( "x=6 is one number.
\n" ); document.write( "the other number is 5x =5*6 =30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "numbers are 6 and 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
