The product of two consecutive positive integers is 119 more than the next integers. What is the largest of the three integers?
\n" ); document.write( "1st:x-1
\n" ); document.write( "2nd:x
\n" ); document.write( "3rd:x+1
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)x = x+1+119
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - x = x + 120
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 120 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(x-12)(x+10) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Largest = x+1 = 13\r
