Answer:4 and six
Step-by-step explanation: n = the first number ( n + 2 ) = the second number
Set up an equation using the information n × ( n + 2 ) = n + ( n + 2 ) + 14 doing the operations gives.
n 2 + 2 n = 2 n + 16 Subtract 2 n from both sides
n 2 + 2 n − 2 n = 2 n − 2 n + 16
This results in n 2 = 16
Take the square root of both sides.
√ n 2 = ± √ 16
This gives n = 4 or n = − 4
The negative answer is invalid n = 4 add 2 to find n + 2 , the second number
4 + 2 = 6
