The reciprocal of 5 less than a number is 4 times the reciprocal of twice the number?
Jacob154
1/(x-5) = 4/(2x)
4(x-5) = 2x
4x - 20 = 2x
2x = 20
x = 10
_______________________________
Check:
1/(10-5) ?=? 4/(2x10)
1/5 ?=? 4/20
1/5 = 1/5 yay!

The number is 7.
The reciprocal of 4 less than a number is twice the reciprocal of the number itself what is the number?
Ok, so let x be the number and write the word phrase as an equation.... 1/(x-4)=2(1/x) 1/(x-4)=2/x Flip them... x-4=x/2 times 2... 2x-8=x move the x, so... x=8 And your welcome ^-^ (asian brain power)
How do you write the quotient of twice a number and six is four less than three times the same number?
the quotient of twice a number and six is.... 2x/6 four less than three times the same number is .... 3x-4 So the equation would be 2x/6=3x-4

What is the reciprocal of 5 less than a number is 4 times the reciprocal of twice the number what's the number?
Suppose the number is x. Then 1/(x-5) = 4*(1/2x) Multiply both sides by x*(x-5) to give: x = 4*(x-5)/2 = 2*(x-5) = 2x - 10 and so x = 10
