<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.
Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.
Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.
Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form

8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2

Answer:
126 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
The while tiles are 3/4 of a foot (or 9 inches) x 9 in, so their area is 81 sq in. There are 14 blue tiles, so 14 x 81 = 1134 sq inches that need to be covered.
Each tiles is 3 x 3, so its area is 9 sq in. 1134 / 9 = 126 tiles
