Question

The product of two consecutive natural numbers is 1.5 times as big as the square of the smaller number. Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

a(a+1)=(1.5)(a^2)
a^2 +a = 1.5 a^2
0.5 a^2 -a=0
a(0.5a-1)=0
a=0 or 0.5a=1
a=0 or a=2

The answer is 0 and 1 or 2 and 3

Answer 2

Answer:

2 and 3 is the answer.
