Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger integer be x
Hence, the smaller integer = x-2
Hence,
Reciprocal of the x= 1/x
Reciprocal of x-2= 1/ x-2
Hence. their sum=
Area of a Triangle = 1/2 * b * h
A = 1/2 * 4 * 5
A = 1/2 * 20
A = 10 units
In short, Your Answer would be Option C
Hope this helps!

To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction.
1/3 • 5/1 or 1/3 • 5
Calculate the product straight across.
1/3 • 5/1 = 5/3
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
