I made a new question because I don’t think the tutor will look back at my reply! Hopefully you guys don’t get mad at me. The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive even integers is 9/40. this can be represented by the equation shown. (1/x)+(1/x+2)=9/40

Question

I made a new question because I don’t think the tutor will look back at my reply! Hopefully you guys don’t get mad at me. The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive even integers is 9/40. this can be represented by the equation shown. (1/x)+(1/x+2)=9/40 
Use the rational equation to determine the integers. Are the two integers 8 and 10?

what happens when you plug them into the equation? do they work?
