Question

Find two consecutive odd integers such that the sum of their squares is 290

Answer 1

Let the nos. be 2x+1 and 2x+3

(2x + 1)² + (2x+3)² = 290

4x² + 4x + 1 + 4x² + 12x + 9 = 290

8x² + 16x - 280 = 0

x² + 2x - 35 = 0

x =  - 7 , 5

hence the nos . are

11 and 13

-11 and 13

Mark my answer as BRAINLIEST please!!!

Answer 2

the numbers are -11 and-13 respectively
