Question

the product of two consecutive odd numbers is 483 .find the numbers

Answer 1

Heya!!!

Let the two consecutive odd numbers be 'x+1' and 'x+3'

Given :

(x+1)(x+3) = 483

= x^2 + 3x + x + 3 = 483

= x^2 + 4x -480 = 0

=Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x^2+4x−480=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=4, c=-480.

x=−b±√b2−4ac2a

x=−(4)±√(4)2−4(1)(−480)2(1)

x=−4±√19362

x=20 or x=−24


So the possible pairs of consecutive odd numbers are :

(21 , 23)

(-23 , -21)

HOPE IT HELPS!
