23. The product of two consecutive odd integers is 63.
Which equation can be used to determine these
integers?
A. (x + 2)(x + 2) = 63
B. (x)(x + 2) = 63
C. (x)(x + 1) = 63
D. x + x = 63
E. x + x + 1 = 63

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(x)(x+2)=63

Because you have an odd number and it’s next consecutive number multiplied by each other. For instance if you had the number 5 and you only added one then x+1 (which is 6) would be an even number. Since they’re both odd, it would to be X +2

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
