SOLUTION: the product of two consecutive even integers is 168. do not solve.

 

Hi,

Let x and (x+2)represent the two consecutive even integers:

Question states***

 x(x+2) = 168



fyi

x^2 + 2x -168 = 0

(x+14)(x-12) = 0     x = -14 or x = 12

the two consecutive even integers are 12,14 OR -14,-12
