For this problem, we are looking for two consecutive integers whose product is 56.
00:07
So in order to find this information, we're going to call our first integer n, and we're going to call the second integer n plus 1 because they're consecutive.
00:19
So whatever the first one is, the second one is one number after that.
00:24
So what we're looking for is which integers fit into this scenario.
00:29
We have the product of the number.
00:32
Those two integers is going to be equal to 56.
00:36
So when we multiply, in this case, we just need to distribute, we're going to have n squared plus n equals 56.
00:51
So now that we have this equation set up, we just need to solve this.
00:56
So to start, we're going to get everything on the same side.
00:59
So we're going to subtract the 56 to the other side...
