Answer
12 and 14
Work Step by Step
Note, the 5 step process is as follows:
(1) Familiarize yourself with the problem.
(2) Translate the problem into Algebra.
(3) Solve.
(4) Check. Note, if we want to check a solution, we would plug it back into the equation and check that the equation yields a true statement.
(5) State the answer.
After becoming familiar with the problem, we find:
$$x\left(x+2\right)=168 \\ x^2+2x-168=0 \\ x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-168\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \\ x=12,\:x=-14$$
The two integers are 12 and 14.
