The answer is 360.42 or 360
The desired answer is probably that
2x + 1 = 67
is the equation that can be used to solve the problem. In this case, x represents the smallest integer.

I like to work problems in consecutive integers by considering their average. Here, it is 67/2 = 33.5. The two consecutive integers whose average is 33.5 are 33 and 34, the solution to the problem. For this, the first equation applies, where x is the value halfway between the two integers. (This answer (2x=67) would likely get marked wrong by your computer grading system.)
In a rational function, holes are located where f(x) is undefined(the denominator is 0), but the undefined points can be factored out. In f(x), when x is 4 or -3, f(x) is undefined. But, x+3 can be factored out, so it is a hole. The hole is located at (-3,-1/7)
9x + 2 + 8x + 1 = 17x + 3
The answer is 180 - 17x + 3 I'm pretty sure
He would most likely be referring to kilometers if it is a large area. So D would be your answer.
