Question

The product of two consecutive odd integers is 195. Write an equation to model the situation.

Answer 1

x(x+2)= 195 that is the correct equation

Answer 2

x(x+2) = 195

Explanation:

Since, the difference between the consecutive odd integers is 2,

That is,

If small integer = x,

Then the larger integer = x + 2

Where, x and x + 2 are consecutive odd integers,

Product of x and x + 2 = x (x + 2)

According to the question,

x(x+2) = 195

Which is the required equation.
