Question 242432
what does this mean: find two consecutive numbers with a product of 210?
----------------------
1st number: x
2nd number: x+1
-----------------------
Equation:
x(x+1) = 210
x^2 + x - 210 = 0
(x-14)(x+15) = 0
x = 14 or x = -15
=========================
Two possible solutions:
x = 14
x+1 = 15

OR

x = -15
x+1 = -14
