Answer:
The sum of the inverses of two rational numbers is 5 by 6, and the difference of the inverses of the numbers is 1 by 6. Calculate the sum and product of numbers.
Sum = a + b = 5
Product = a ₓ b = 6
Explanation:
Add both equations together
2 / a = 6/6
2 / a = 1
a = 2
we replace in any relation a
1 / 2 + 1 / b = 5 / 6
3b + 6 = 5b
5b - 3b = 6
2b = 6
b = 3
Sum = a + b = 2 + 3 = 5
Product = a ₓ b = 2 ₓ 3 = 6
