Natural numbers equation

Find the natural numbers x and y such that: 1/2 = x / y and in addition that: x + y = 6

Final Answer:

x =  2
y =  4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2=x/y 1/2=x/(6x) (6x)/2=x 1.5x=3 23x=3 3x=6 x=6/3=2

(6-x)/2 = x

3x = 6


x = 6/3 = 2

x = 2

Our simple equation calculator calculates it.
y=6x=62=4
