3 0

<span>the line over the 28 means the 28 repeats forever. 1.282828.... and so on let x be the rational number 1.28... we can use this trick: 100*1.282828....= 128.282828... (the decimal 28 part repeats) 100x = 128.28... next: 100x - x = 128.282828... - 1.282828... the .282828... part will be subtracted away 99x = 127 divide both sides by 99 to get x= 127/99</span>

Divide both sides by 5 , so 5(x + 5)/5 < 85/5 , which will give you <span>x + 5 < 17 , then minus 5 from both sides which will give you x < 12 . hope this helps !</span>

AlladinOne [14]

Let one of the number be x
The other number will be x + 2

x + x + 2 = 15044
2x + 2 = 15044
2x = 15044 -2
2x = 15042
x = 7521
x + 2 = 7521 + 2 = 7523

The office number is 7521 and 7523
