The product of two consecutive integers is 420 Which quadratic equation can be used to find x , the lesser number?

If x is the lesser integer, the next consecutive integer is x + 1. Their product is x(x + 1) = 420, which expands to x² + x = 420. Therefore, the equation is choice A, “x squared plus x is equal to 420.”
