Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
??? The answer is not able to be found for the fact that there are 3 numbers all coming from x.
solution is (x, y ) → (- 1, 4 )
y + 2x = 2 → (1)
y + 4x = 0 → (2)
subtract equation (1) from (2) to eliminate term in y
(y - y ) + (4x - 2x ) = (0 - 2 )
2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 1
substitute x = - 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for y
(1) → y - 2 = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
y = 4
solution is (x, y ) → (- 1, 4 )
