Hi,
*Note: consecutive odd integers differ by 2
Let x be the smaller. Then (x+2) would be the larger.
.
question states
x(x+2)= 2115
.
x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+2115+=+0
this quadratic equations could be used to solve the word problem
.
Can be solved by using the quadratic formula
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

----------------------
If you use one, it's x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+2115+=+0
But don't waste time doing that.
--------------
sqrt%282115%29 =~ 46, the center
--> 45 & 47
