Hii

I m here to help u!!!


Let the two consecutive even integers are:-
x and x+2

according to the question ,we have
x^2 + (x+2)^2 =452
2x^2 + 4 + 4x =452
x^2 +2x -224=0

Now splitting the middle terms
x^2 + 16x -14x -224=0
we get
x=14
So the integers are 14 and 16.

I Hope it helps you!

Hi there! We can create a number equation to find your solution. Already, we know that two consecutive integers can be represented by x+x+1. All we have to do is square that expression and make it equal to 452. This gives us:
(x)^{2} +(x+1)^{2} =452
We can simplify that down to 2x^{2}+4x+4 =452. Now, we can subtract 452 from both sides to make the whole left side equation equal to zero. Doing that gives us 2x^{2}+4x-448=0. We see that 2 can be factored out of the whole equation, giving us 2(x^{2}+2x-224)=0. Next, we can factor the equation to get (x-16)(x+14)=0. We can use the Zero Product Property to find the x values of -16 and 14. Therefore, the two integers are -16 and 14. Hope this helped!
