Question

The product of two successive multiples of 5 is 300 what are the values of these multiples ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

15, 20 or -15, -20

Hint :

Let the successive multiples of 5 be 5x and 5(x + 1). Then,

5x.5(x + 1) = 300

⇒x 2+ x = 12

⇒x 2+ x - 12 = 0

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

15, 20 or -15, -20

Hint :

Let the successive multiples of 5 be 5x and 5(x + 1). Then,

5x.5(x + 1) = 300

⇒x 2 + x = 12

⇒x 2+ x - 12 = 0
