Crystal Ramirez · Answer 1

Negative 21 and Negative 23 are the two integers you are looking for. Two negatives make a positive and the are both consecutive odd integers that = 483 when multiplied.

Cheyanne Duffy · Answer 2

In order to find this you need to assume that they are declared as X and as X + 2. This makes the formula for calculating it x (x+2) = 483, and this, based on the formulas for calculation, equals

x^2+2x-83=0

From this we can see that a negative X is - 23, which when + 2 is added results in - 21.
