Question

The product of two consecutive integers is three less than three times their sum.Find the integers.

Answer 1

are the numbers 6 and 5

Answer 2

n(n+1) = 3(2n+1) -3

Answer 3

Let x and x + 1 be the consecutive integers

x(x+1) = 3(x + x + 1) – 3

x^2 + x = 3(2x + 1) – 3

x = 0 and x = 5 ?

Answer 4

n^2 -5n = 0

Answer 5

then we factor right

Answer 6

right pull out an n

Answer 7

n(n-5)=0

Answer 8

n=0

Answer 9

n=5

Answer 10

yup ;D

Answer 11

So, the pairs are 0,1
and
5,6

Answer 12

how is it 0 and 1?

Answer 13
