2 consecuitive whole numbers are x and x + 1. When the product of these numbers is subtracted from 47 times the first number x, the answer is 360. Form an equation in x and solve it to find the two possible pairs of consecutive numbers.

Use this sentence.


When the product of these numbers is subtracted from 47 times the first number x, the answer is 360

First part:
- When the product of these numbers

What is this product?
It is x(x+1)

- 47 times the first number x
What is this? This is simply 47x

- When the product of these numbers is subtracted from 47 times the first number x
This means you have 47x - x(x+1)

- the answer is 360

This means:

47x - x(x+1) = 360

Can you solve it now?
