Question

Find the two consecutive odd positive integer sum of whose square is 290

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive odd positive integer be (x + 1) and (x + 3)

According to question,

The sum of these two consecutive odd positive integer = 290

Therefore,

==> x + 1 + x + 3 = 290

==> 2x + 4 = 290

==> 2x = 290 - 4

==> 2x = 286

==> x = 286/2

==> x = 143

Therefore, x + 1 = 144

x + 3 = 146

Therefore, the two numbers are 144 and 146.
