Question

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 12 find the integers ​

Answer 1

The answer is 3 and 4 respectively

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the consecutive integers be = x and x-1

ATQ,

x(x-1)=12

x²-x=12

x²-x-12=0

x²-4x+3x-12=0

x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0

x-4=0 or x +3=0

x=4 or x=-3(not possible)

Therefore 2 positive integers are

x =4

x-1=4-1=3

Answer is 3 and 4.
