Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)

Answer:
y = 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x−5
This is in slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m =3
Parallel lines have the same slope
We have the slope m=3 and a point (2,0)
y = mx+b
y = 3x+b
Substituting the point into the equation to solve for b
0 = 3(2)+b
0 = 6+b
b = -6
y = 3x-6
