Find two consecutive even number whose product is 224

Answer provided by our tutors

let '2n' represent the first even number, then '2n+2' represents the next consecutive even number


2n(2n+2) = 224

solving for 'n' we have a positive value of n=7 and a negative value of n=-8


the number is 7 if positive

the number is -8 if negative
