One possible solution would be p being the total gallons of paint needed to buy, 250 in the first box (because 250 square feet per gallon), 250 in the second box (because you have 1 gallon = 250 sq. feet leftover) = 1600 (total)

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.
