The product of two consecutive non-negative odd integers is 783 what are the integers

Here's how you can do that.

Explanation:

The problem tells you that the product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to  

783

.

Right from the start, you know that you can get from the smaller number to the bigger number by adding  

2

.

You need to add  

2

because if you start with an odd number and add

√

So, if you take  

x

to be the first number, you can say that

x

+

2

is the second number, which means that you have

x

⋅

(

2

)

=
