Question

The product of two consecutive integers is 48 more than the larger. Find the integers.

Answer 1

@zzr0ck3r would the smallest consecutive even integer be x and the largest be x+4?

Answer 2

x(x + 1) = x +1 + 48

Answer 3

x^2 + x - x = 49
x^2 = 49

Answer 4

so x = square root of 49

Answer 5

This time we had nothing to do with odds, so two consecutive numbers are x and x+1

like 2,3

4,5

7,8

-2,-3
