Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
1st odd positive number is x+1
2nd odd positive number is x+3
then,
(x+1)^2 + (x+3)^2 = 290
(x^2 + 1 + 2x) + (x^2 + 9 + 6x) = 290
2x^2 8x + 10 = 290
2x^2 + 8x = 280
x^2 4x = 140
x^2 + 4x - 140 = 0
x^2 + 14x - 10x - 140 =0
x(x + 14) - 10(x + 14) =0
(x - 10) (x + 14) = 0
Now
we get two value of x.
x = 10
x = - 14
Here we only consider positive number according to question,
x = 10
Hence, 1st odd positive number is 11 and 2nd odd positive number is 13.
