Q:
the product of two positive consecutive integers is 132. find the integers.
Accepted Solution
A:
x(x+1) = 132
x^2+x = 132
x^2+x-132 = 0
Factoring this gets you
(x+12)(x-11) = 0
x = 11 only because x = -12 is negative and you’re looking for positive integers
x+1
11+1
12
The two integers are 11 and 12
