Question 557158
the product of two consecutive odd integers is 77 more than twice the larger, Find the integers please. I cannot set up "product" consecutive integers?
---------------
The product is x*(x+2)
---
x*(x+2) = 2(x+2) + 77
x^2 + 2x = 2x + 4 + 77
x^2 - 81 = 0
x = ± 9
-------
--> 9 & 11
and -9 & -7
