Question

The sum of a number and 6 times its reciprocal is 7. Find the number(s).

Answer 1

x+(6/x) = 7 I think that is what you are saying then you solve for x

Answer 2

i assume?

Answer 3

6 = 7x-x^2
x^2-7x+6 = 0
(x-1)(x-6)
so your answers are 1 and 6 I think

Answer 8

The sum of a number and 6 times its reciprocal is 7.
Let the number = x
Its reciprocal = 1/x
1
So x + 6*---- = 7
x

Now multiply throughout by x

x^2 + 6 = 7x
gives
x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0

solve this quadratic equation
