The sum of a whole number and 3 times its reciprocal is 13/2. Find the number Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 'n' be the number. Then n+3/n=13/2, so n^2-13n/2+3=0. Solve this with the quadratic formula to get n=6 (the other solution isn't a whole number).
