Solve Applications Modeled by Quadratic Equations · Exercise 19

Make up a problem involving the product of two consecutive odd integers. Start by choosing two consecutive odd integers. ⓐ What are your integers? ⓑ What is the product of your integers? ⓒ Solve the equation $n (n + 2) = p$ , where $p$ is the product you found in part (b). ⓓ Did you get the numbers you started with?

This is an open-ended exercise: its source gives no single answer.
