Answer:
yes the correct answer is what you chose
Step-by-step explanation:
the left side 4 is less than the right side 6
Let s = the smaller one of the two.
Since they are consecutive, the second one is (s + 1)
Since they are natural numbers, they cannot be negative.
We know that s(s + 1) = s + (s + 1) + 155
So:
s(s + 1) = 2s + 156
s^2 + s = 2s + 156
s^2 - s - 156 = 0
(s - 13)(s + 12) = 0
From this, it looks like s can be either 13 or -12. But since it's a natural number, it cannot be negative. So, it is 13.
s was the smaller one. The larger one is s + 1 = 14
Check: 13*14=182=13+14+155
