===============
C, D & F
----------------
F (x + 9)(x + 7) = 0
@ x = 0, 7*9 = 63

This question is a mathematical joke problem.

Its goal is to check / (to test) if a person is able to read a simple mathematical text
and if he (or she) does really understand the meaning of the terms that he (or she) reads.

The answer is :   equations (C) and (D).

Those who can answer correctly go to the left; the rest go to the right.

Equations C and D are both equations that represent the statement "the product of two consecutive odd numbers is 63."

Equation F has solutions that are two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 63; but that equation does NOT represent the statement that the product of two consecutive odd numbers is 63.

ANSWERS: C and D (only)
