The product of two consecutive integers is 72. the equation x(x 1) = 72 represents the situation, where x represents the smaller integer. which equation can be factored and solved for the smaller integer? x2 x – 72 = 0 x2 x 72 = 0 x2 2x – 72 = 0 x2 2x 72 = 0

Answer :

The equation that can be factored and solved for the samller integer is x² + x - 72 = 0

How to form an equation?

The product of two consecutive integers is 72. The equation that represents the situation is as follows:

x(x + 1) = 72

where

  • x = smaller number

Therefore,

x(x + 1) = 72

x² + x = 72

x² + x - 72 = 0

Therefore, the equation that can be factored and solved for the samller integer is x² + x - 72 = 0
