The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive positive integers is 17/12. Write an equation that can be used to find the two integers. What are the integers?

PLEASE HELP ME
surely you know
(a) what a reciprocal is
(b) what a sum is
(c) what consecutive integers are
So, if the smaller integer is x, the equation is just
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/12
Unfortunately, I detect a typo. Fix it, and it will come out a lot better.
