The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306 we need to find the integers |
|
Answer» Let the 1st number be x . So the 2nd number be x+1. Acc. to question , (x)(x+1)=306 After solving this we get x^2 + x = 306. Then x^2 + x - 306 = 0 . Then by middle term factorization, we get x^2 + 17x - 18x - 306 = 0. Then x(x + 17) - 18(x + 17). Then (x - 18) (x - 17) = 0. Then x = 17 and x= 18. Therefore the integers are 17 and 18 17 and 18 X(x+1)=306X^2+x-306=0Simplyfy the qudratic equation and u will get the answer as 17 and 18 |
