Find the two consecutive odd integers such that the product of the integers is 77 more than twice the larger integer.

Asked by Johanna

Answer (3)

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

The first integer is y = 9.
What are the consecutive numbers?
The **consecutive **numbers are those number which follow each other continuously in the order from smallest to largest numbers.
Given tha **Consecutive odd **integers increase by 2 so:
Let the first **integer **be y, then the Second will be y+2
Therefore,
y×y+2=77+2(y+2)
y²+2y=77+2y+4
Now Move all the terms to one side;
y²+2y-81-2y=0
y²+2y-2y-81=0
y²-81=0
y²=81
Y=9

The two consecutive odd integers are 9 and 11. Their product is 99, which is 77 more than twice the larger integer (22 + 77 = 99). Therefore, the condition from the problem is satisfied.
