The product of two positive consecutive integers is 240. find the integers.

The product of two positive consecutive integers is 240. Then the integers are 15 and 16

Solution:

Given that product of two positive consecutive integers is 240

Let the first number be "x"

Since the numbers are consecutive, then the second number be "x + 1"

According to given information,

Product of "x" and "x + 1" = 240

On factorizing we get,

Find two numbers which add up to 1 and when multiplied gives -240

16 and -15 are the two numbers which satisfies the above condition

Hence the factors are:

(x - 15)(x + 16) = 0

Equating to 0 we get,

(x - 15) = 0

x = 15

And (x + 16) = 0

x = -16 ; Since its given that positive integers. Negative value is ignored

Hence "x" = 15

Hence the first integer is "x" = 15

And the second integer is "x + 1" = 15 + 1 = 16

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

it would more likely be bald eagle because its has more in the box so about 75%.
