find two consecutive positive integers,sum of whose square is 613
let two consecutive positive integers be X, x + 1
according to the question
x² + (x + 1)² = 613
x² + x² + 1 + 2x = 613
2x² + 2x = 613 - 1
2x² + 2x - 612 = 0
2 ( x² + x - 306 ) = 0
x² + x - 306 = 0
x² - 18x + 17x - 306 = 0
x (x - 18) + 17 (x - 18) = 0
(x - 18) (x + 17) = 0
x = 18
x = -17
Hope my answer helps you!!
