The product of two consecutive positive even numbers is 528. What are the numbers?

22 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

You can label the two consecutive positive integers as x and (x+2).

So, we know their product is: x * (x + 2) = 528

Here we simply solve this equation.

xx + 2x = 528

xx + 2x - 528 = 0

x = - 1 + root (4 - 4 * (-528)) / 2

x = - 1 + 46/2

x = - 1 + 23

x = 22

and the other is 24

22,24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x) (x+2) = 528

x^2+2x=528

x^2+2x-528=0

(x+24) (x-22)

x=-24,22

Can't be negative

22+2=24

22,24
