Step-by-step explanation:
u just have to solve the quadratic equation ,
2x^2 + 2x - 144 = 0
Taking 2 common
2 ( x^2 + x - 72) = 0
x^2 + x - 72 = 0
x^2 + 9x - 8x - 72 = 0
x (x + 9) - 8 (x + 9) = 0
(x + 9) (x - 8) = 0
x = 8, -9
neglecting the negative one , we got x = 8
1st integer = 8
2nd integer = x + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
Hope it helps

The sum of square of two consecutive positive integers is 145 find the integer
Let consecutive integers be x and (x + 1).
We have,
- = 145
Solve it,
= = 145
= = 145
= = 145
= - 145 = 0
= = 0
= = 0
= = 0
= = 0
= = 0
- Solve into two possible cases
= x + 9 = 0
= x - 8 = 0
- The equation has two solution
= x = -9
= x = 8
•°• The two integers so obtained are -9 and 8.
