Answer: 11, 13

Explanation:

The problem is asking us to find two consecutive integers that have a product of 143. If we call x the greatest of the two numbers, the other number can be written as (x-2). Their product must be equal to 143, so we have

x(x-2)=143

Let's solve the equation:

x^2 -2x -143 =0

this is a second-oder equation that has two real solutions: x=13 and x=-11. We are not interested in the negative solution, so our solution is x=13. Therefore, the two numbers are

x=13

x=13-2=11
