The sum of the squares of two consecutive integer positive odd integers is equal to one hundred thirty. Find two integers.
---------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
-------
Equation:
(2x-1)^2 + (2x+1)^2 = 130
----
4x^2 - 4x + 1 + 4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 130
-----
8x^2 = 128
---
8(x^2 - 16) = 0
(x-4)(x+4) = 0
---
x = 4 or x = -4
---
If x = 4:
2x-1 = 7
2x+1 = 9
---
If x = -4
2x-1 = -9
2x+1 = -7
