Question 841217
let a = the larger integer
let b = the smaller
Just write an equation for what it says:
:
twice the reciprocal of the larger positive even integer exceeds half of the smaller even integer by 1.
2*{{{1/a}}} = {{{1/2}}}b + 1
multiply both sides by 2
4*{{{1/a}}} = b + 2
{{{4/a}}} = b + 2
{{{4/a}}} - 2 = b
 find the integers.
The only positive even integers that would satisfy this: a=2, b=0
