The product of two consecutive odd integers is 143. If x is the smallest of the integers, write an equation in terms of x that describes the situation, and then find all such pairs of integers. The equation that describes the situation is

The positive set of integers is

The negative set of integers is

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+2) = 143

x² + 2x - 143 = 0

x = [-2 ±√(2²-4(1)(-143))]/[2(1)] = 11, -13

11 and 13

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
