To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
(x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.

Answer:
D. x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE : <u><em>there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.</em></u>
suppose the equation is the following:
3(x-4)-5 = x-3
………………………………………………………
3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17
⇔ 3x = x + 14
⇔ 2x = 14
⇔ x = 14/2
⇔ x = 7
