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.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

answer: i guess 105 degrees?
