One positive number is three larger than another positive number. If sixteen times the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to nine times the reciprocal of the larger number, the sum is one. Find the two number.

= and y = \frac{25+\sqrt{949} }{6} - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take x as the larger number and y as the smaller number.

x + 3 = y

+ = 1

Substitute x + 3 for y in the second equation.

+ = 1

Make a common denominator.

Simplify and get rid of that fraction.

By quadratic formula (and because they must be positive), x = and then y = \frac{25+\sqrt{949} }{6} - 3.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
