xy = 1
x - y = 5/6
Solve

x = 3/2, y = 2/3

The Larger Number is 3/2

Answer 2

Thank youu! But wait; howd you know it was 3/2 & 2/3?

Answer 3

\[x(x+\frac{5}{6})=1\]

Answer 4

\[x^2+\frac{5}{6}x=1\]
\[6x^2+5x-6=0\]
\[(2x+3)(3x-2)=0\]
\[x=-\frac{3}{2},x=\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 5

so answers are
\[\frac{2}{3}\] and
\[\frac{3}{2}\]

Answer 6

Well that makes alot more sence! Thank youu(:
