Question

Find two consecutive whole numbers whose product is 72.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 1st integer

x+1= 2nd integer

x(x+1) = 72

x^ + 1x + 72

x^ + 1x -72 = 0

(x+9)(x-8)

if u solve u'll get x=-9 and x=8

x can't be negative.

so x=8

x=8=1st integer

x+1=8+1=9=2nd integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 1st integer x+1 + 2nd integer x(x+1) = 72 x^ + 1x + 72 x^ + 1x -72 = 0 (x+9)(x-8) so x=-9 and x=8 but these are. Question 434845: Find two consecutive integers whose product is 72. but these are not consecutive integers.
