Question

the product of two consecutive natural numbers is 132 , express this statement in equation form​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two consecutive numbers are 11 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two consecutive numbers:

Let a number be x

and the consecutive be x+1

Their product is 132, so

$(x)(x+1)=132\\x^2+x-132=0\\x^2+12x-11x-132=0\\x(x+12)-11(x+12)=0\\(x-11)(x+12)=0\\\implies x=(-12)\: or \: 11$

Since, we are only dealing with natural numbers, so x=11 and x+1=12
