1st number = x
2nd number= x+2
so: x(x+2) = 483
x² + 2x -483= 0
making the factors of equation we get
x² + 23x - 21x -483= 0
(x-21) (x + 23)= 0
x= 21
x= -23
so 1st no= 21
2nd no = 23
2nd number= x+2
so: x(x+2) = 483
x² + 2x -483= 0
making the factors of equation we get
x² + 23x - 21x -483= 0
(x-21) (x + 23)= 0
x= 21
x= -23
so 1st no= 21
2nd no = 23
