Question 902420

The product of two consecutive even integers is 1088. What are the integers ?
<pre>
Let the first, or smaller integer be S
Then other is: S + 2
{{{S(S + 2) = 1088}}}
{{{S^2 + 2S - 1088 = 0}}}
(S - 32)(S + 34) = 0
S, or first (smaller) integer = 32         OR    - 34
Integers: {{{highlight_green(32_and_34)}}}     OR      {{{highlight_green(- 34_and_-32)}}}
