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: maybe a or b sry if u git i wrong

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question isn't worded the greatest, there are two ways you can read this.
1. The quotient of a number and -9, increased by 10, is 11
2. The quotient of a number, and -9 increased by 10, is 11
The first equation will look like this
And the second will look like this
So I have solved for both (I personally believe the second way of reading the question is the correct way)
°° Let's see -
Basically, you divide the number of miles Chad drove by the number of hours it took. Then, it gives you the number of miles Chad drove in one hour. Let's try it!
168 ÷ 3 = 56
You can now see that Chad drove 56 miles in one hour.
