Question 36820
if the product of two consecutive odd integers is decreased by one third the lessre the integer, the result is 250. find the integers.

Let the lesser integer be "x"
Then the larger interger is "x+2"
EQUATION:
x(x+2)-(1/3)x=250
x^2+(5/3)x-250=0
3x^2+5x-750=0
*[invoke quadratic "x",3,5,-750]
Hope this helps.
