Let the numbers be x and 8 − x
Given that the sum of these numbers is 8
And 15 times the sum of their reciprocals as 8
`rArr15(1/x+1/(8-x))=8`
`rArr15(((8-x)+x)/(x(8-x)))=8`
⇒ 15 ((8 − ЁЭСе) + ЁЭСе) = 8(ЁЭСе(8 − ЁЭСе))
⇒ 15 [8 − ЁЭСе + ЁЭСе] = 8ЁЭСе(8 − ЁЭСе)
⇒ 120 = 64x − 8x2
⇒ 8ЁЭСе2 − 64ЁЭСе + 120 = 0
⇒ 8[ЁЭСе2 − 8ЁЭСе + 15] = 0
⇒ ЁЭСе2 − 5ЁЭСе − 3ЁЭСе + 15 = 0
⇒ (ЁЭСе − 5) (ЁЭСе − 3) = 0
⇒ x = 5 or x = 3
∴ The two numbers are 5 and 3.

`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0` to solve this quadratic equation by factorisation, complete the following activity.
`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0`
`sqrt2x^2+square+square+5sqrt2=0`
`x("______") + sqrt2 ("______") = 0`
`("______") (x + sqrt2) = 0`
