The natural numbers are 11 and 12.
- An equation is said to be linear if the maximum power of the variable is consistently 1. Another name for it is a one-degree equation. A linear equation with one variable has the conventional form Ax + B = 0. In this case, the variables x and A are variables, while B is a constant. A linear equation with two variables has the conventional form Ax + By = C.
- Each term in a linear equation has an exponent of 1, and when this algebraic equation is graphed, it always produces a straight line. It is called a "linear equation" for this reason.
Here, according to the given information, we are given that,
The product of two consecutive natural number is 132.
Let the two number be x and (x+1).
Then, we have,
Or,
Or,
Or,
Or,
