Sam bought six new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next day his dog ate half of his collection. There are now only thirty eight cards left. Therefore, he started out with 76 baseball trading cards.
Dog ate half of his collection (not including the 6 new baseball cards)
Let the smaller one is x so the larger is x+1 x(x+1)=1332 x^2+x=1332 x^2 +x -1332 =0 (x - 36)(x + 37) =0 so x = 36 or x = -37 therefor the larger integer is either 37 or -36
