The product of two consecutive multiples of 5 is 500.what are these numbers?


Sagot :

The two consecutive multiples of 5 can be represented as x and x+5. Therefore, the equation would be x(x+5) = 500, which is equal to x^2 + 5x - 500 = 0. I used the quadratic formula to get x = -25 and x = 20. Only the positive answer is needed (multiples are whole numbers), so the two numbers are 20 and 25.
