Question:-
the sum of square of two consecative even natural numbers is 100. find the number?
Let the two consecutive even natural numbers be x and x +2.
As per the given condition.
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 100
∴ x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 100
∴ 2x2 + 4x + 4 – 100 = 0
∴ 2x2 + 4x – 96 = 0.
Dividing by 2 we get,
x2 + 2x – 48 = 0
∴ x2 – 6x + 8x – 48 = 0
∴ x (x – 6) + 8 (x – 6) = 0.
∴ (x – 6) (x + 8) = 0
∴ x – 6 = 0 or x + 8 = 0
∴ x = 6 or x = – 8
x is an natural number
∴ x cannot be – 8
∴ x = 6
And x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
∴ The two consecutive even natural numbers are 6 and 8 respectively.
Hope it helps you!

Answer:
The 2 consecutive even numbers whose squares add up to 100 is 6 and 8. So x = -8 or 6. 6^2 + 8^2 = 36+64 = 100.
