Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99.

Given:

Product of two consecutive odd integers is 99.

To find:

The two consecutive odd integers.

Solution:

Let the two consecutive odd integers are x and (x+2).

Product of two consecutive odd integers is 99.

Splitting the middle term, we get

If x=-11, then second odd integer is

If x=9, then second odd integer is

Therefore, the two consecutive odd integers are either -11, -9 or 9, 11.
