"The product of two consecutive integers is 23 more than seven times there[sic] sum."

I presume you meant:

The product of two consecutive integers is 23 more than seven times their sum.

Assuming you want to find the value of these two consecutive integers; a question you were apparently too lazy to ask:

Let represent the smaller of the two integers. Then the other one must be because they are consecutive.

The product of the 2 integers:

The sum of the 2 integers:

Seven times the sum:

23 more than that:

Hence:



Solve the quadratic for and then calculate

Hint: You will get two roots, but one of them will be extraneous.
