For a fixed integer n, a pair of nonzero integers a, c is called a D(n)-pair if the product ac plus n is a perfect square. In this short note we prove that D(n)-pairs are asymptotically equidistributed (via their associated quadratic forms) among proper SL2(Z)-equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of discriminant 4n with fixed content. As a consequence, we obtain a more streamlined and simpler proof of Badesa's asymptotic formula for the number of D(n)-pairs.
