The product of two consecutive integers is 342. which quadratic equation can be used to find x, the greater number?

x2 + 1 = 342

x2 − 1 = 342

x2 − x + 342 = 0

x2 − x − 342 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive integers are separated by 1 unit.

It says in the problem that "The product of two consecutive integers is 342"

This can be translated into equation as:

If we multiply it out, we will have the quadratic equation necessary to solve for  

This equation can be used to solve for x. Fourth answer choice is correct.
