    The product of two consecutive integers is greater than 100

    Take an integer x.
    Next consecutive integer is x + 1

    The product of those integers is:
    x(x + 1)

    This product is greater than 100 which gives us the algebraic expression of:
    x(x + 1) > 100

    IF we want to solve for x:
    x^2 + x > 100

    Subtract 100 from each side:
    x^2 + x - 100 > 0

    Solve this quadratic:
