Let the number be ‘x’
According to the given hypothesis
`x+1/x=17/4`
`rArr(x^2+1)/x=17/4`
⇒ 4(ЁЭСе2 + 1) = 17ЁЭСе
⇒ 4ЁЭСе2 - 17ЁЭСе + 4 = 0
⇒ 4ЁЭСе2 - 16ЁЭСе - ЁЭСе + 4 = 0
⇒ 4ЁЭСе(ЁЭСе - 4) - 1(ЁЭСе - 4) = 0
⇒ ЁЭСе =1/4 ЁЭСЬЁЭСЯ ЁЭСе = 4
∴ The value of ЁЭСе = 4

Solve the following quadratic equations
(i) 7x2 = 8 – 10x
(ii) 3(x2 – 4) = 5x
(iii) x(x + 1) + (x + 2) (x + 3) = 42
Solve for x :
`1/(x + 1) + 3/(5x + 1) = 5/(x + 4), x != -1, -1/5, -4`
