X+(x+1)=17
So 2x+1=17
Which means 2x=16
Which then means x=8
But you still need the second number, which is x+1, so 8+1=9.
This means that the consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
The "9" in the second term is a coefficient.
The following answer is B because it shows that it has to multiply the x - axis by the slope (5) to make sure that it can be equat to the y - axis.
y = 5x
y =5(16)
y = 80
(x, y) = (16, 80)
Multiply 2.90 by 6 and multiply 2.90 by 4 then add them and you get your answer
