Pete challenges his friend jill to find two consecutive odd integers that have the following relationship. the product of the integers is 3 times the sum of the integers plus 6. determine if it is possible to find two such integers.

2n+1, 2n+3 - consecutive odd integers





It's not possible.

I don't think it is.

If the first integer is 'x', then the second one is (x+2).
Their product is (x²+2x), and their sum is (2x+2).

You have said that  (x²+2x) = 3(2x+2) + 6

                                 x²+2x = 6x + 6 + 6

                                 x² - 4x - 12 = 0

                                (x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

                             x = 6    and    x = -2

The numbers are  ('6' and '8'), or ('-2' and 0).

I honestly don't know what to make of the second pair.
But the first pair satisfies the description:

              The product (48) = 3 x the sum (3 x 14 = 42) plus 6.

So '6' and '8' completely work, except that they're not odd integers.
