Answer:
1. Let us assume
The first integer number = x
Thus, the next consecutive positive integer will be = x + 1
Product of two consecutive integers = x × (x +1)
x× (x +1) = 306
⇒ x2 + x = 306
⇒ x2 + x – 306 = 0……………………..(1)
x can be expressed as
x = 18x – 17x………………………………(2)
Substitute the equation (2) in equation (1)
x² + 18x – 17x – 306 = 0
⇒ x(x + 18) – 17(x + 18) = 0
⇒ (x + 18)(x – 17) = 0
x + 18 = 0
x – 17 = 0
x = 17 and x = -18
Since integers are positive
so x = 17 and 18
∴ Two consecutive integers are 7 and 18.
