Question

which two consecutive numbers can make up to 182

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive number be X and X+1

According to the question,

X(X+1)=182

X^2+X=182

X^2+X-182=0

By factorisation method, we get

X= 13 or 14

Therefore, the consecutive numbers are 13 and 14

Answer 2

Answer:

13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let numbers be x, x+1

given: x(x+1)=182

x^2+x=182

x^2+x-182=0

x^2+14x+13x-182=0   (middle term splitup)

x(+14)+13(x+14)=0

(x+14)(x+13)=0

as x is positive

so x=13

second number=x+1=14
