Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive numbers be 2x , (2x + 2)

(2x)(2x + 2) = 360

2x*2x + 2x *2 = 360

4x² + 4x = 360 {divide the equation by 4}

x² + x = 90

x² + x - 90 = 0

x² + 10x - 9x - 9*10 = 0

x(x + 10) - 9(x + 10) = 0

(x + 10)(x -9) = 0

x + 10 = 0

x = -10

2x = 2*(-10) = -20

2x + 2 = -20 + 2 = 18

(-20 , -18)
