Question

The product of two consecutive positive odd integers is 255. What are the integers?

Answer 1

\[x \times(x +2)=255\]
\[x ^{2}+2x \]
\[x ^{2}+2x - 255 = 0\]

This has two possible solutions:
x = 15
x = 17

Since we know the numbers are odd, the answer is 15.
To check this is true:
15 x 17 = 255

Answer 2

okay thank you :) that is what i got as well
