Re: Word Problem: The sum of a number and its reciprocal is.
b) Write the expression representing the reciprocal of the number.
c) Write the sum of (a) and (b).
d) Noting that "is" means "equals", write the equation.
e) Solve for the variable.
If you get stuck, please reply showing how far you have gotten.
Thank you.
