Two numbers (one after another)multiplication is 155 bigger than them amount. It 'll be like that. X*X > X+X P.S here can't be number with (-)
Sorry for my english :(
I think we have
x * (x + 1) = x +(x+1) + 155 simplify
x^2 + x = 2x + 156
x^2 - x - 156 = 0 factor
(x -13)(x +12) = 0
Setting each to 0, we have that x = 13 and x = -12
So....since the answer is positive....x = 13 and (x +1) = 14
And 13*14 = 182 and 13 + 14 = 27
And 182 is 155 more than 27
And there you go....
