Hello,
Let's represent a consecutive number with x and the next even number as x+2. Now we can set up an equation as:
x(x+2)=528 Rewritten as:
x^2 + 2x = 528 Subtract 528 from both sides will give us:
x^2 + 2x - 528 = 0 Now we can factor this as:
(x + 24)(x - 22) = 0
x=-24
x=22
Answer is 22 and 24. Check this out by multiplying them to see if it equals 528.
