Use the five-step problem-solving approach.

Solution

let the two consequtive numbers be x and x+1

so x(x+1)=132

or, x2+x-132=0

or, x2+12x-11x-132=0

or, x(x+12)-11(x+12)=0

or, (x+12)(x-11)=0

or, x=-12 or 11

since the numbers are parking space numbers hence they can not be negative.

hence x=11

so the numbers are 11 and 12 [answer]
