the product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 675 find the two integers
Answers
Answer:
25,27 or -27,-25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two integers be n and n+2
ATP,
=>n(n+2)=675
=>n²+2n-675=0
=>n²+27n-25n-675=0
=>n(n+27)-25(n+27)=0
=>(n-25)(n+27)=0
=>n=25, or,, -27
Therefore, the no.s are 25,27 or, -27,-25.
Given :
- The product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 675.
To find :
- The two integers =?
Step-by-step explanation :
Let, the first consecutive odd integers be, x.
Then, the second consecutive odd integer be, x + 2.
It is Given that,
The product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 675.
According to the question,
➟ x(x + 2) = 675
➟ x² + 2x = 675
➟ x² + 2x - 675 = 0
➟ x² + 27x - 25x - 675 = 0
➟ (x² + 27x) + (-25x - 675) = 0
➟ x(x + 27) - 25 (x + 27) = 0
➟ (x + 27) (x - 25) = 0
Now,
x + 27 = 0
x = - 27. [Ignore negative]
So,
x - 25 = 0
x = 25.
Therefore, We got the value of, x = 25.
Hence,
The first consecutive odd integers , x = 25.
Then, the second consecutive odd integer , x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
