Question

The product of two consecutive integers is 120. write an equation to find the integers.​

Answer 1

The consecutive even integers are

n

n + 2

n(n + 2) = 120

n2 + 2n - 120 = 0

(n + 12)(n - 10) = 0

n = -12 or 10

Explanation:

There are 2 solutions:

n = -12

n + 2 = -10

and

n = 10

n + 2 = 12
