    Answer:

    -420

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the two consecutive integers be

    x and (x + 1)

    The product of two consecutive integers is 420

    x(x + 1) = 420

    Distribute

    x² + x = 420

    Subtract 420 from both sides

    x² + x – 420 = 0

    The constant is

    -420
