Two consecutive integers is 15 find out the larger integer, Mathematics

Assignment Help:

If the difference among the squares of two consecutive integers is 15 find out the larger integer.

Let x = the lesser integer and let x + 1 = the greater integer. The sentence, "the difference among the squares of two consecutive integers is 15," can translate to the equation (x + 1)2 - x2 = 15. Multiply the binomial (x + 1)2 as (x + 1)(x + 1)by using the distributive property:  x2 + 1x + 1x + 1 - x2 = 15. Merge like terms: 2x + 1 = 15; subtract 1 from both sides of the equation: 2x + 1 - 1 = 15 - 1. Divide both sides through 2: 2x/2= 14/2. The variable is now alone: x = 7. Thus, the larger consecutive integer is x + 1 = 8.
