You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference of the reciprocals of tho positive numbers is 2.
If the product of the numbers is 1/35, what are the numbers?
:
Two positive numbers, x & y
:
"The difference of the reciprocals of tho positive numbers is 2." = 2
Multiply by xy, results:
y - x = 2xy
:
"If the product of the numbers is 1/35,"
x*y =
The only factors of 35, are 5 and 7, therefore =
:
Check in the other equation
Replace xy with in the equation, y - x = 2xy
y - x = =
which is =
therefore
x =
y =
