Question 88230
The product of two consecutive positive even integers is 360. Find the integers.
-------------
Let the even integers be (2x) and (2x+2)
(2x)(2x+2) = 360
4x(x+1) = 360
x(x+1) = 90
x^2+x-90=0
(x+10)(x-9) = 0
x=-10 or x=9
-----------
Positive means x=9
2x = 18 (1st even integer)
2x+2 = 20 (2nd even integer)
