Answer:
Two consecutive integers are of the form
x and x + 1
Their product is equal to 56
x(x + 1) = 56
Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows
x2 + x - 56 = 0
Factor and solve
(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
solutions: x = 7 , x = -8
x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence
x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first closely examine the sequence for any mathematical correlation between the terms of sequence.
It is visualized that the series is progressing with addition of increasing even numbers starting with +6 ( +6, +8, +10, +12, +14, +16, +18 …) in the previous term to obtain next terms of the series. This logic continues for entire series.
The given series is:
1 ,7 ,15 ,25 ,37
Starting with first number of the series
1
1 + 6 = 7
7 + 8 = 15
15 + 10 = 25
25 + 12 = 37
37 + 14 = 51
51 + 16 = 67
67 + 18 = 85
The extended series is
1, 7, 15, 25, 37, 51, 67, 85
