A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the integers be x and x+1. Product x(x+1) = 306, so x^2 + x - 306 = 0.

AI explanation

Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and (x + 1), where x is the smaller integer. Their product is given by x(x + 1) = 306, which expands to x squared plus x minus 306 equals 0. This exactly matches the provided quadratic equation, making the statement true.
