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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It should be option B
Step-by-step explanation:
A. multiply all the numbers together to find the possible outcomes
4 x 4 = 16
There are 16 different jacket-shirt outfits Ardell have.
They will not be the same color = 4 x 3
4 x 3 = 12
12/16 = 0.75, or a 75% chance they will not be the same color
hope this helps
