The productbof the two consecutive integers is 47 more than the next consecutive integer. Find the two integers

Sagot :

Let the two numbers be x-1 and x, and the next consecutive number be x+1.

x(x - 1) = x + 1 + 47
x² - x = x + 48
x² - 2x - 48 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 6) = 0

If x - 8 = 0
x = 8

If x + 6 = 0
x = -6

This would mean that x = 8 or -6, meaning that the two consecutive numbers are 7 and 8 or -7 and -6.
