Question

Find two consecutive positive odd integers whose product is 35.

Answer 1

5 and 7 are the integers that answer this question

Answer 2

2 consecutive odd integers: x, x+2

x* (x+2) = 35

x^2+2x=35

subtract 35 from each side

x^2 +2x-35=0

(x+7) (x-5)=0

x=-7 x=5

they must be positive so x=5

5,5+2

Answer: 5,7
