Thank you for asking this question. The options for this question are missing, here are the missing options:
A. 3
B. 5
C. 7
D. 9
E. 11
Answer:
We will let n and n+ 2 be the integers.
1/n + 1/(n+2) = 12/35
35n(n+2) + 35n
= 12n(n+2)
70n + 70 = 12n² + 24n
12n² - 46n - 70 = 0
6n² - 23n - 35 = 0
(6n+7)(n-5) = 0
n = -7/6 or 5
-7/6 cannot be the integer so will take 5 as the answer.
So the final answers are 5 and 7.
If there is any confusion please leave a comment below.
