Question

Consider two adjacent even numbers a) If one of them is x then what is the other? b) If the product is 120 then write a second degree equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) x+2

b)

${x}^{2} + 2x - 120 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other even number will be x+2.

(x) (x+2) = 120

The required equation is:

${x}^{2} + 2x - 120 = 0$
