Question

Ben opened his history book, and noticed that the product of the two pages in front of him was equal to 1122. What are the numbers of those pages?

Answer 1

Explanation:

n(n+1) = 1122

n²+n = 1122

n²+n-1122 = 1

(n+34)(n-33) = 0

(n+34) = 0

n = -34

(n-33) = 0

n = 33

So n+1 = 34

Check: 33*34 = 1122
