Question

The product of two consecutive numbers is 56. What will be their sum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are X , X + 1

The product of two consecutive numbers is 56

X (X +1) =56

x^2+x-56=0

(x+8) (X-7) =0

X+8= 0 X -7=0

X=-8 X =7

X+1=-7 X +1=8

sum -8-7= -15 sum=7+8=15
