Hey there!
One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)
You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.
1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.
The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.
Consecutive means right after one another.
The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.
2 x 3 = 6

Answer:
See below (I hope this helps!)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write this in the form y = mx + b.
x + 3y = -12
3y = -x - 12
Well, 217 miles ÷ 62 MPH is 3.5.
so it took the train 3.5 hours.
check it: 62 MPH x 3.5 hours, it went 217 miles
