The product of two positive consecutive odd numbers is 255. What are the numbers?

Please write this problem in quadratic equation form please

Use process shown in your later post, except one number = x and the other = x+2.

To write this problem in quadratic equation form, we need to first define the variables. Let's assume that the first odd number is x.

Since the numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the second odd number can be expressed as x + 2 (since the difference between consecutive odd numbers is 2).

The product of these two numbers is 255. So, we can set up the following equation:

x * (x + 2) = 255

Now, let's simplify this equation and convert it into quadratic equation form:

x^2 + 2x = 255

Rearranging the terms:

x^2 + 2x - 255 = 0

This is the quadratic equation form of the problem.
