Find two consecutive integers whose product is 30

consecutive integers can be represented as x an x+1

thei poduct is 30

so (x)(x+1)=30

use quadratic formula

for

for ours, a=1, b=1, c=-30

 or

x=(10/2) or x=-12/2

x=5 or x=-6

for x=5

x+1=6, the integers are 5 and 6

or x=-6

x+1=-5, the integers are -6 and -5

the integers are 5 and 6 or -5 and -6 (the question didn't say anything about the signs of the integers)
