The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive integers is 5/6. Find the two integers?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "1/x + 1/(x+1) = 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 + x = 5x(x+1)/6
\n" ); document.write( "12x + 6 = 5x^2 + 5x
\n" ); document.write( "5x^2 - 7x - 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(5x + 3)*(x - 2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "--> 2 & 3
\n" ); document.write( "
