1.	a positive integer when subtract from 28 become eh 16 times it reciprocal . find the number
Answer» Please check the question.Here I have given the correct solution. Let the number be x Now, (28 - x) = 160 / x 28x - x²= 160 x²- 28x + 160 = 0 x²- 20x - 8x + 160 = 0 x(x - 20) - 8(x - 20) = 0 (x - 8)(x - 20) = 0 x = 8 , 20 Like my answer if you find it useful!

Please check the question.Here I have given the correct solution.

Let the number be x

Now,

(28 - x) = 160 / x

28x - x²= 160

x²- 28x + 160 = 0

x²- 20x - 8x + 160 = 0

x(x - 20) - 8(x - 20) = 0

(x - 8)(x - 20) = 0

x = 8 , 20
