Question

-EQUAT
1) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the
integers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and x +1

then,   x(x+1) = 306

x² + x - 306 = 0

x² + 18x - 17x -306 = 0

x( x + 18) -17 (x +18) = 0

(x-17) (x+18) = 0

thus, x = 17 or x = -18 ( not possible as positive integers is required)

therefore, the positive integers are 17 and 18
