Answer:

Let the given set of integers be n and (n+1)

n(n+1)=306

n to the power square +n−306=0

(n+17)(n−16)=0

Therefore, n=16 and integers are 16 and 17.

Answer:

17, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be y, y + 1

=======================

  • y * (y + 1) = 306 (products of them)
  • y² + y = 306 (multiply)
  • y² + y - 306 = 0
  • y² + 18y - 17y -306 = 0 (factorize)
  • y(y+18) -17(y+18) = 0 (take out common variables)
  • (y-17)(y+18) = 0 (collect into groups)
  • y = 17, -18
  • y = 17 (as required positive integer)

Next integer:

  • y + 1
  • 17 + 1
  • 18
