Should be easy points! The sum of 2 times a number and twice its reciprocal is 20/3. Find the numbers.

Please show work because I am so lost.

Let x represent the number from the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x) + 2(1/x) = 20/3

2x + 2/x = 20/3

multiply both sides of the equation by 3x

6x + 6 = 20x

6x - 20x + 6 = 0

6x - 18x - 2x + 6 = 0

6x(x-3 -2(x-3) = 0

(6x-2 = 0 or x-3 = 0

6x = 2 or x = 3

x = 2/6

x = 1/3

Since x represented the number

Therefore x = 1/3 or 3

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
