Question

The product of two consecutive positive even integers is 12,320. What are the two integers?

Answer 1

So, we have x and x + 2 as the two integers.

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x(x + 2) = 12320}\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x^2 + 2x = 12320}\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x^2 + 2x - 12320 = 0}\)

Can you solve this?

Answer 2

You'll supposedly get a positive and a negative solution, but you choose the value of x where it is positive.
