Is x•(2+x) and example of two consecutive integers

Answer 1

In the expression, X•(2+X), the two integers that you would be multiplying could not be consecutive integers.

Consecutive integers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and so on. Consecutive numbers are those numbers that follow each other. Consecutive means an unbroken sequence or following continuously. So, Consecutive Integers follow a sequence where each subsequent number is one more than the previous number.

So, in order for the 2 integers that you are multiplying to be consecutive integers, the algebraic expression should have been X•(1+X).

Say that x = 3, then you would be multiplying 3 • 4 (consecutive integers)

In the given algebraic expression of X•(2+X), if x = 3, then you would be multiplying 3 • 5 (not consecutive integers)

Answer 2

Two consecutive integers would be x and x + 1.
