The product of two consecutive odd integers is 77 more than twice the larger integer.find the integers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive odd integers increase by 2 so:
Let the first integer be y,
The Second will be y+2
Therefore y×y+2=77+2(y+2)
y²+2y=77+2y+4
Move all the terms to one side NB:when the terms move over they change thier sign
y²+2y-81-2y=0
y²+2y-2y-81=0
y²-81=0
y²=81
Take square root
Y=9
