Two consecutive odd positive integers have a product of 155235. Find the larger of the two integers.
The way the other person did it MAKES NO SENSE. Creating an equation makes absolutely no sense because you're back to square one. Unless, of course
you're planning on using the quadratic equation formula or completing the square to get your answer, which you can do if you love to "torture" yourself.
In this case, all you have to do is find the square root of 155,235. The answer to the question will then be the ODD INTEGER that's greater than
that result. Do it and see what you get. If confused, write back.
