Question

The sum of the squares of the two consecutive odd positive integers as 394. Find them.

Answer 1

question is incomplete its positive odd no.s

let no.s be x and x+2

x2 + x2 +4 +4x =394

2x2 +4x =390

x2+ 2x =195

x2 +2x -195 =0

{x+15}{x-13} =0

x = -15 or 13

but x cannot be negative

so x=13 n x+2 =15

so,13 and 15
