The product of two consecutive odd integers added to their sum is 119. What are the two integers?
---------
Call the 1st one x, the 2nd is x + 2
x*(x+2) + x + x+2 = 119
(x + 13)*(x - 9) = 0
---
x = -13 --> -13 & -11
x = 9 --> 9 & 11
-----
check both answers
-13*-11 - 24 = 143 - 24 = 119
---
9*11 + 20 = 119
